North will soon decide who to support in 2027 — Baba-Ahmed
Former Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Bola Tinubu, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, on Sunday declared that the North will soon define its political direction ahead of the 2027 general election.
This declaration comes as no surprise, given Baba-Ahmed’s background as a vocal advocate for the emancipation of the North and the masses.
Recall that he previously served as Spokesperson for the Arewa Elders Forum before taking up his appointment with President Tinubu, a position he recently relinquished to rejoin the struggle for the North’s rights.
Baba-Ahmed, who recently resigned as Special Adviser to President Tinubu, made this statement in a video interview clip that went viral on social media on Sunday, in which he appeared alongside Professor Usman Yusuf, former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme.
In the interview, Baba-Ahmed emphasised that no politician can win the Nigerian presidency without support from the northern region.
He stressed that the North would decide its political stance in the next six months, and that the rest of the country would either follow or go its own way.
According to Baba-Ahmed, the North has suffered significantly in the past, particularly during the Boko Haram insurgency, which affected all groups regardless of religion or ethnicity.
