Former Special Adviser on Political Affairs to President Bola Tinubu in the Office of Vice President Kashim Shettima, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has cautioned the president against seeking a second term.
Baba-Ahmed said Tinubu should instead support a younger presidential candidate in 2027.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, he urged Tinubu to use his remaining two years in office to fix Nigeria and mentor a younger successor.
He said: “If I had met with President Tinubu, I would have told him not to run in 2027 and to back a younger candidate.
“There are better things he could do than being the president, he could spend the next two years of his life doing the things he ought to do that he hasn’t done yet or improving on what he has done.
“Then, like I said in my letter, look for a younger person who is more energetic, healthier, more focused, and more committed to the future of this country.
“From your party, find the kind of people who really feel the pains of what Nigeria is today, the kind of people whose children are just growing up and they can look at them and say ‘what will happen to my child or grandchild in the next 20 years?’
“There are a lot of patriotic and desperate Nigerians who want to be part of the future of this country, test them with power because you have done your bit. You don’t need to run for another one.
“Spend the next two years fixing Nigeria, fix the economy, and security.”
