Former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political
Matters, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has advised the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
ex-presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar against running for the Presidency in
2027.
Baba-Ahmed said Atiku should support a younger presidential
candidate in 2027 and play a fatherly role to the person.
He issued the advice while featuring on Channels
Television’s Politics Today on Thursday night.
Baba-Ahmed said a younger presidential candidate from Atiku
will take the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the “cleaners.”
He said: “If I have the chance to sit with Atiku, I would
say to him- Sir, you have done your bit, you have held up the democratic
process, you represented it well, your name has been written in gold, it’s time
to yield the ground to a younger person; don’t run in 2027, play a fatherly role.
“Find a good and young person. If he were to field a younger
person that is more capable with less skeletons in their cupboard, somebody
with less liabilities, in age, health, and everything; they will take APC to
the cleaners.”
He insisted that the ruling party is growing with the wrong
set of people.
Baba-Ahmed said most of those defecting to the APC are
either looking for positions of running away from the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“APC is growing with the wrong people, all these defections
is aimed at one thing, they are looking for positions or running away from
EFCC.
“The people running into the APC from all over the place are
actually a liability, it’s simple a refugee camp that will burst,” he added.
