Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Bola Tinubu, has called for a generational shift in Nigeria's leadership.
In a recent statement, Baba-Ahmed urged President Tinubu to consider stepping down after his first term in 2027, advocating for the emergence of new leadership to address the country's challenges.Baba-Ahmed emphasized the importance of rejuvenating Nigeria's political landscape, suggesting that a transition to younger leadership could bring fresh perspectives and solutions to the nation's issues. His comments reflect a growing sentiment among some political observers and citizens who believe that the current leadership should make way for a new generation of leaders.
This call for leadership change comes amid ongoing discussions about Nigeria's governance and the need for reforms to tackle pressing issues such as economic development, security, and social welfare. While President Tinubu has not publicly responded to Baba-Ahmed's remarks, the conversation highlights the evolving dynamics within Nigerian politics and the desire for transformative leadership.
As the 2027 elections approach, the debate over leadership succession is expected to intensify, with various stakeholders advocating for policies and candidates that align with their vision for Nigeria's future.
