Tinubu Will Be A Better President Than Buhari – Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

The spokesman for the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has come out to speak about the high expectations of the North from President Bola Tinubu.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he expects President Tinubu to do better Buhari during his time at Aso Rock because PMB not only failed the North when he was president, he failed the entire country too.

Hakeem added that Buhari raised a lot of expectations, but he left the country a lot worse than he met it.

His words, “In one word, expectant! Yes, expectant, because we expect that President Tinubu will do phenomenally better than Buhari. The immediate past President was a woeful disappointment. He failed the nation. He failed the North. He failed the electorates that trooped out to give him the kind of votes that no other President has ever had. He raised a lot of expectations but left the country a lot worse than he met it. So, we are hoping that if Tinubu continues to be the President after all these judicial processes have been concluded, he would have learnt from President Buhari’s weaknesses and failures to create a government that is radically different from that of President Buhari because this country has to move on. We don’t have another eight years to lose. There’s a very high expectation that we will have good governance, we will have a secure country, and that we will have a compassionate government.”

“Fighting corruption! Please note that I didn’t say fighting insecurity, but fighting corruption, because corruption is at the root of our insecurity; societal corruption, the corruption of our values as a people, and the corruption of all the agencies that are supposed to be fighting insecurity. If you drastically remove corruption from the processes and operations of the government and from the lives of Nigerians, you can solve the problem of insecurity in a year or two. Insecurity is a problem; so, I will have to list it among the priorities. Addressing poverty is a very serious problem; finding ways to improve inclusion – the elections have polarised the country very dangerously – so, we are in a very terrible situation because our last elections polarised the nation more.”
