Apostasy within APC: Hakeem Baba-Ahmed warns of grave error

In a candid interview with Vanguard, ex-Special Adviser on Political Affairs to Vice President Kashim Shettima, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has bluntly criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) for welcoming political failures into its ranks.

Baba-Ahmed asserts that the APC is making a grave error by inducting individuals who have led the nation to its current downfall. He contends that the nation's future is at stake, and the party is nothing more than a burden, loaded with its own liabilities and those of other political parties.

“The APC should reevaluate their mandate,” Baba-Ahmed states. “They need to assess the state of the country now, not just issue press releases and statements praising defections.”

He advises President Tinubu to act quickly to address the pressing issues and enlist youthful, ambitious individuals with a mission to rejuvenate the nation. "I urge President Tinubu to take on the challenges head-on, attract younger, energetic leaders, and foster a vision for change."

Boldly stating, "The future of the APC is bleak considering its current predicament, and it needs fresh, capable individuals to steer the nation towards recovery." Baba-Ahmed adds that the APC should concentrate on addressing existing challenges rather than the influx of high-profile defectors from failing parties.

He cautions against blind trust in experienced political figures that have failed the nation and encourages the rallying of young, knowledgeable, and passionate leaders who have the vision and drive to transform Nigeria.

Baba-Ahmed's criticism of the APC reflects his belief that the party is making a mistake by admitting individuals responsible for the country's decline.
He implores President Tinubu to take immediate actions to tackle the pressing issues and recruit energetic, youthful leaders with a clear vision for the nation.
In a bold assertion, Baba-Ahmed warns that the APC's future looks dismal in its current state and needs new, capable leaders to guide the nation towards recovery.
Instead of focusing on high-profile defections, Baba-Ahmed advises the APC to prioritize addressing the existing challenges to reverse the nation's downward spiral.
Giving a word of caution, Baba-Ahmed encourages the rallying of young, knowledgeable leaders who have the passion and vision to transform Nigeria, rather than blindly trusting experienced politicians who have previously failed the country.
In the realm of policy-and-legislation and politics, it's essential for the APC to reevaluate its mandate and take decisive steps to steer the nation towards a brighter future.
The general news coverage of the APC has been dominated by the influx of high-profile defectors, but Baba-Ahmed implores the party to shift its focus to substantive matters of health, economy, and governance.
As the 2027 elections draw nearer, the APC, under the leadership of President Tinubu, seems resolved to counter opposition from the Southern-Middle Belt with the forging of strategic alliances, while other politicians, such as El-Rufai and Keyamo, emphasize their resolve to maintain the APC's stronghold and dismiss any opposition coalitions as impossible.
