Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu in the Vice President’s Office, has urged Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, former presidential candidates of the Labour Party and New Nigeria Peoples Party respectively, to step aside from the 2027 presidential race. Baba-Ahmed argued that both Obi and Kwankwaso, along with President Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, represent an older generation that has had its time and now has little left to offer the country.

In an interview with Trust TV, he expressed that the country needs fresh leadership, as the current political environment is filled with bitterness, power struggles, and a lack of energy to address the nation’s real challenges. He said, “The generation that’s been in power has spent the last few decades just holding on to it without any real vision for progress. These men have already played their part, and the country needs new blood.”

Baba-Ahmed also criticized the notion that a president must serve two terms, questioning why the Constitution forces this outdated standard. He recalled that when they realized President Buhari was failing to deliver on his promises, several groups called for him to not serve a second term—something they feel should be re-evaluated moving forward.

“Politicians should not cling to power just because of tradition or regional demands. If a leader is not performing or has health issues, why should they remain in office?” he added. Baba-Ahmed concluded by stressing that these kinds of rigid political beliefs are contributing to the country’s stagnation and ongoing decline.

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.

Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.

“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
