No Northern Gang-Up Against Tinubu — Hakeem Baba-Ahmed

 Former Political Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, Hakeem
Baba-Ahmed, on Thursday declared that the North is not ganging up against the
president.

 

Baba-Ahmed also said the chemistry between Tinubu and Vice
President Kashim Shettima is excellent.

 

He spoke in an interview on TVC, during which he explained
why he resigned from Tinubu’s government.

 

Baba-Ahmed disclosed that he resigned because there was not
much to do as a Political Adviser to the President.

 

He said: “No gang up of the North against the South, I
resigned because I wasn’t happy about the job and when you are not happy about
a job you leave.

 

“They give you a job and its description and they tell you
what to do. You go there expecting to do the work and when you are not doing
the work, you have two choices – sit there for four years waiting for something
to happen while collecting salaries in a nice office or you leave. I chose the
latter because there wasn’t much to do.

 

“It has nothing to do with northerner, the Vice President
has always had the potential for being idle.

 

“The Vice President has only two jobs defined – they are
called spear tyres and if you are unfortunate not to have a spear tyres at the
precise time you need it, then you are in trouble.

 

“Most vice presidents have the potential to be idle
depending on the disposition and the chemistry with the president.

 

“When I left, the chemistry was excellent but for me, I have
done a lot in my life, I was a public officer for almost 40 years and I went
into this administration on the assurances that there would be work for
somebody like a political adviser but I found out that there wasn’t much to
do.”
