Former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Matters, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, says Nigeria is currently in deeper trouble than when Tinubu came as president in 2023.
Baba-Ahmed stated this on Tuesday while fielding questions in an interview on Trust TV, insisting that even Tinubu himself knows that he has failed.
He was speaking on the state of Nigeria as a nation from economy down to security.
“We are in deeper trouble than when you came. Violence are becoming a lot more serious than we anticipated. Three years into President Tinubu’s presidency, we’re seeing an escalation in the pattern of violence and its magnitude and impact on our people that we’ve never seen before.
“This is a president who came to power promising to put an end to this insecurity and to create a new path for Nigeria, create new living conditions for Nigerians, make life safer and more abundant.
“The president himself would admit that he has failed to do this, to live up to the promises he has made and to make Nigerians safe.
“A few days ago, the President and the huge entourage of ministers and government officials traveled to the United Kingdom on state visit. It was a very festive event, from the media reports, very happy event.
“It occurred at a moment when, in just a few days earlier, there were one of the most horrendous attacks in Borno state, a few days before the departure of this huge contingent that the President led,” he lamented
