Quit Politics, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed Counsels Atiku, Obi
In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed, a respected social commentator and analyst, has publicly advised former Nigerian presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, to step away from politics or face being forced out.
This statement has sent ripples throughout the country, with many taking to social media to express their opinions on the matter.
The advice, which has been met with widespread approval from some quarters, has also raised concerns among supporters of the two politicians, popularly known as “Atikulates” and “Obidients”.
Dr. Ahmed’s statement has been seen as a bold move, considering his recent interactions with the two candidates, which had led many to believe he was sympathetic to their causes.
In a statement released earlier today, Dr. Ahmed emphasized the need for a new generation of leaders to take the reins in Nigerian politics.
“It’s time for Atiku and Obi to recognize that their time has passed. They have contributed significantly to the country’s political landscape, but it’s now time for them to step aside and allow fresh faces to emerge,” he said.
While some have hailed Dr. Ahmed’s advice as a necessary wake-up call, others have expressed outrage, accusing him of being hypocritical and inconsistent.
“This is a man who has been praising Atiku and Obi just a few months ago,” said a social media user. “What has changed now?”
As the news continues to spread, there are concerns that Atikulates and Obidients may lash out at Dr. Ahmed, given their history of defending him on social media.
“I hope they don’t turn on him now,” said another user. “He’s only speaking the truth, and it’s time someone told them that their time is up.”
The development has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for a national conversation on the role of older politicians in Nigeria’s political landscape. As the country prepares for future elections, it remains to be seen how Atiku and Obi will respond to Dr. Ahmed’s advice, and whether their supporters will stand by them or heed the call for change.
Dr. Ahmed’s statement has highlighted the complexities of Nigerian politics, where loyalty and allegiance can shift quickly. As the country navigates its political landscape, it’s clear that the advice has struck a chord, sparking a necessary conversation about the future of leadership in Nigeria.
Whether Atiku and Obi will heed the call to step aside remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the debate will continue to rage on, with Dr. Ahmed’s statement serving as a catalyst for change.
