The National Chairman of the People Redemption Party, PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has said that President Bola Tinubu is the worst leader Nigeria has ever had.

Speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV,  Baba-Ahmed said the North will be finished if Tinubu wins the 2027 general elections.

The PRP chairman also blasted Tinubu for differing with the ‘true’ position of the Catholic Bishops when they had a meeting with him at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, stating that the President’s denial of the issues raised by the bishops despite clear evidence, underscores his ineffectiveness as a leader.

He equally criticized Tinubu over his ‘poor’ performance, alleging a disconnect between the government and the people

“The North will be finished if Tinubu wins in 2027. He’s the worst President ever in the history of Nigeria. The problem is the disconnect between the government and the people.

“Catholic bishops went to the President. These are highly respected people. He must have thought that it would be a good outing for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have agreed to meet them.

“They went to him, politely said to him, Mr President, the people are not happy with you. They are hungry. They are insecure. There are a lot of problems running in the country.

“For every issue the bishops raised, the President said, no, you are wrong. I am right. There is no hunger in this country, what you are saying is not true. Now, for goodness’ sake, a President in charge of his faculties, in charge of a country that should have prepared him, would not do this,” he said.

Accord has demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Osun East senator, Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi, over a viral campaign video where the lawmaker was captured telling members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to kill its members.

The party said the senator’s action has confirmed that its members and supporters across the state are targets of political violence, harassment and intimidation by thugs associated with the All Progressives Congress, APC, in collusion with the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Goriola Yakub, has said the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso’s decision to pitch his tent with Peter Obi won’t help his ambition in 2031.

Yakub suggested that becoming Obi’s running mate could turn out to be Kwankwaso’s worst political decision.

In an interview with Trust TV, the APC chieftain said: “Incidentally in 2022, Kwankwaso was explaining why himself as a Northerner can’t be a running mate to Peter Obi. He gave himself an objective either to be a vice presidential candidate or a presidential candidate and with the mood he now felt that the only available is to become a vice presidential candidate.

“But I want to tell you something that it could turn out to be Kwankwaso’s worst political move if he thinks that this would help his 2031.”

Yakub insisted that the former Anambra State governor has no pathway in Northern Nigeria.

He added: “Kwankwaso knows Peter Obi and there is no pathway for Obi in the North. Let me give you an example, if Kwankwaso was the top of a ticket and he could not deliver the North to himself, how would he deliver the North to Peter Obi?”

Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Democratic Party, NNPP, defected to the NDC a few months ago, after which he emerged as the party’s presidential running mate.
