Former presidential political adviser, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, on Wednesday claimed that President Bola Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari became president for personal reasons.
Baba-Ahmed said Buhari never became president to run Nigeria
but simply because “he just wanted to become a president.”
He made the assertion while featuring on Channels
Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
Asked if he would join the African Democratic Congress (ADC)
coalition, Baba-Ahmed said: “I haven’t. I have a party. I’m a member of the
PRP.
“I was the chairman of APC in my state for three years. I
was the chairman when we transited from CPC and went into the coalition with
Tinubu’s party.
“About six months into Buhari’s presidency I resigned my
membership of the party because I could see then that I didn’t think that
Buhari became president to run the country.
“I think he just wanted to become a president, just six
months into that and I left. I think there are some similarities between Tinubu
and Buhari, they both wanted to become president for personal reasons more than
anything else.
“I think that they have laboured in the political process
for so long that it became about them and that is the wrong reason to seek
political power.
“You want power so that you can govern people and improve
things, it must never be about you.”
