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.

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.

An Osun State House of Assembly member, Kanmi Ajibola, has given Senator Francis Fadahunsi 30 days to resign from the National Assembly over alleged inciting comments concerning members of the Accord in the state.

Ajibola, who represents Oriade State Constituency in the Assembly, also threatened legal action against Fadahunsi if the senator failed to comply with the demand.

Fadahunsi, who represents Osun East Senatorial District, had earlier denied allegations that he directed his supporters to kill members of the Accord, insisting that he was quoted out of context.

However, in the letter signed by his solicitor, Ekene Amadi, and titled, ‘Resign now, you have a killer’s mind and lacking strength of character for public office representation’, Ajibola accused the senator of making threats against opposition members.

The letter, which was copied to President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio, alleged that Fadahunsi had threatened to deal with members of the opposition since October 2025.

Ajibola said he and Fadahunsi were from the same constituency and previously belonged to the Peoples Democratic Party before their political paths diverged.

According to him, “Fadahunsi defected to the All Progressives Congress, while he moved to the Accord. I and other PDP members had contributed financially, electorally and otherwise to Fadahunsi’s victories in the 2019 and 2023 elections.”

The letter alleged that “Fadahunsi had, since October 2025, threatened that Accord members would face arrest and alleged killings after the 2026 Osun governorship election.”

It claimed that between June 1 and August 10, several Accord members had been arrested or detained, while some were allegedly killed.

Ajibola also alleged that on August 11, four days before the Osun governorship election, Fadahunsi directed political supporters to attack Accord members during political activities in Ilesa.

The lawmaker described the alleged conduct “as a violation of the senator’s oath of office. Fadahunsi is no longer fit to continue representing Osun East in the Senate.”

The letter demanded that Fadahunsi resign within 30 days of receiving it and withdraw from future public service.

It warned that failure to comply would result in legal proceedings, stating that he would face “the full rigour of law and a legal action shall be taken against you”.
