Hakeem-Baba-Ahmed-Northern-Elders-Chairman (1).webp
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former Shettima adviser and ex-Buhari ally, has publicly disowned the former president, calling his regime Nigeria’s worst and accusing him of prioritising office over leadership.

  • Baba-Ahmed said Buhari’s government “governed less and cared less” than any he’s seen in 70 years.
  • He once chaired Buhari’s party in his state and supported his campaign.
  • Accused Buhari of ignoring advice and failing to prioritise national issues.
  • Criticised Tinubu’s presidency for lacking preparedness and genuine reform zeal.
  • Said bloodshed in Niger, Plateau, and Benue is worse now than before
This isn’t just another political critique — it’s a betrayal from within. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, once deep in Buhari’s camp, says the North backed the wrong man. His words cut deeper because they come with the weight of age, experience, and former loyalty. His concerns about Tinubu’s governance echo public frustration: too many promises, too little change. Behind the numbers and headlines, Nigerians are bleeding — literally and economically — and even insiders are sounding the alarm.
