Hakeem Baba Ahmed has urged President Bola 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 its time. It would be a masterstroke if you and your party yielded the field to new voices and new leadership. That way, you could catalyse a peaceful, historic transformation and inspire a new political culture rooted in merit, unity, and progress.”
