Baba Ahmed Critiques Tinubu's Political Alliances

Baba Ahmed, a former special adviser, criticized President Bola Tinubu during an appearance on Channel Television's program "Political Paradigm," stating that Tinubu is no longer a strategic thinker and that his political alliances are indicative of poor thinking. Ahmed's remarks come amid growing public rifts involving former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu.

El-Rufai is currently under judicial scrutiny due to allegations of ordering an abduction at Abuja Airport and is accused of influencing investigations by anti-corruption agencies. Ahmed emphasized the troubling nature of these developments for Nigeria's political culture and advised El-Rufai to focus on addressing the serious corruption allegations against him.

The situation has raised concerns about the political motivations behind these allegations, particularly with the potential implications for the 2031 presidential ambitions of the involved parties.
