Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former aide to Vice President Kashim Shettima, says President Bola Tinubu is cut off from those working with him and the challenges ordinary Nigerians face.
In an interview on ARISE TV, Baba-Ahmed said, “I never had a one-on-one meeting with Tinubu in 18 months. He’s genuinely isolated—whether by choice or design—and it’s hurting the country.”
He said the administration has failed to translate campaign promises into governance and warned that focusing on 2027 could derail progress. Baba-Ahmed also urged Tinubu to consider stepping aside for a younger generation in 2027, calling it a chance for a “dignified exit” and a “new political culture rooted in merit and unity.”
He expressed concern over the president’s advisers, saying many seemed disconnected from the country’s reality.
