Datti Baba-Ahmed: Islam's Reputation Damaged Under Tinubu

Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former vice presidential candidate, claimed that Islam has experienced reputational damage during the presidency of Bola Tinubu. He made this assertion at a political event organized by the People's Redemption Party (PRP) in Abuja on a Monday.

Baba-Ahmed emphasized that the current administration, led by Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, has negatively impacted the global perception of Islam. He referenced historical figures such as Muammar Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, noting that despite their human rights abuses, they achieved significant human development.

Baba-Ahmed argued that genuine leadership should authentically represent all faiths and reiterated the importance of leadership in shaping global perceptions of a state. His comments reflect concerns about the current political climate in Nigeria and its implications for the Muslim community.
