A former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President
Bola Tinubu, Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said that residents of the North West
will hold political leaders accountable in the 2027 general elections based on
their experiences of violence, poverty and insecurity.
Baba-Ahmed, who recently resigned from the Tinubu
administration, made the statement while reacting to the endorsement of
President Tinubu for a second term by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
the North West.
The endorsement took place over the weekend in Kaduna, where
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abass, moved a motion in
support of Tinubu’s re-election bid. The motion was seconded by Kebbi State
Governor, Nasir Idris, with APC governors in the region also receiving
automatic tickets for a second term.
APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, who announced the
endorsements, said the President remained committed to the development of the
region and the country at large.
However, Baba-Ahmed, in a post on X, criticised the move,
accusing the political class of ignoring the people.
“APC governors in the North West recently endorsed PBAT,
endorsed themselves and every elected office holder and defector from the
region.
“They forgot the people who will judge all politicians
against their exposure to violence, death and poverty. It’s almost as if they
think people don’t matter,” he wrote.
