Former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Affairs, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has faulted All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders’ second term endorsement.
Recall that APC North West Stakeholders last Friday, including the party’s National Chairman, Umar Ganduje; House of Representatives Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas; Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, all the party’s governors in the region, all members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) from the region, all the party’s elected officials in the region and party’s chieftians from the region, endorsed Tinubu for second tenure in 2027.
Baba-Ahmed said the endorsement does not reflect the intentions and desires of the citizens of the North West.
In a statement on his ? handle on Monday, the former spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) stated that the people of the region who are suffering hardship, hunger, and are under the weight of insecurity will judge who wins in 2027.
He added that the North West Stakeholders’ endorsement showed they didn’t care about the people.
“APC Govs in NW recently endorsed PBAT, endorsed themselves and every elected office holder and defectors from the region. They forgot the people who will judge all politicians against their exposure to violence, death and poverty. It’s almost as if they think people don’t matter,” he wrote.
