Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Bola Tinubu, has stated that the North is crying under President Tinubu’s government.
According to Baba-Ahmed, the North would determine its own course as the former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration increased regional wisdom.
In a widely shared video, the former presidential adviser made the statement that no one can win the presidency of Nigeria without the North’s backing.
Baba-Ahmed said: “In the next six months, the North will decide where it stands. If the rest of the country wants to join us, fine. If not, we will go our own way.
“One thing is clear, nobody can become President of Nigeria without northern support.”
He bemoaned the state of the nation and called on northerners to resist divisive and deceptive politicians ahead of the next general elections.
Baba-Ahmed further lamented over the Boko Haram insurgency’s severe toll on the North, which impacted Christians, Muslims, Fulani, Baju, and others, emphasizing the necessity of unity.
“We want a government that understands our problems and can address them. After Buhari’s eight years, we became wiser. Now, we are in another government, and we are still crying. Is crying all we know how to do?”
“Before Buhari became President, Boko Haram was bombing mosques, churches, Abuja, and Lagos. That was a time northerners had to unite.
“Today, no politician can just show up and expect northerners to fall in line. Who are you?” he questioned.
