Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step aside in 2027, calling on the President to make room for a new generation of Nigerian leaders.
Baba-Ahmed, who recently resigned as special adviser on political affairs in the office of the Vice President, made the appeal in an open letter released on Wednesday.
“Step aside, not for your opponents, but for a new generation of Nigerians who can carry the nation forward with fresh energy and ideas”, he wrote.
“Our generation has done it’s time. It would be masterstroke If you and your party yielded the field to new voices and leadership. That way, you could catalyse a peaceful, historic transformation and inspire a new political culture rooted in merit, unity and progress”.
He called on the President to consider his legacy and reflect on the power he wields.
“You hold what your opposition lacks: The power to reduce the harshness of life for the average Nigeria”, Baba-Ahmed said.
“Use it well. Watch 2027, yes, but don’t become consumed by it”.
