Why North allows Tinubu to get away with things - Baba-Ahmed

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the People Redemption Party (PRP), accused President Bola Tinubu of transferring the rights of the North to the South-West without opposition, claiming this is due to the support of northern leaders.

In an interview on Symfoni TV, Baba-Ahmed criticised the violence and killings in various North states and condemned the 18 northern governors backing Tinubu, warning that their support could harm the region.

“Tinubu is taking away what the North owed to the Southwest because the North is not resisting. The North is not resisting because the people who should resist have capitulated.

“They are all in his camp now. So who do you expect to say to Tinubu, what you are doing for the North is not good. There is hardly any day now that people are not being killed in the North.

“Out of the 32 governors who are in the All Progressives Congress, APC, 18 of them are from the North. Only one governor, Bauchi State governor, is not in the APC.

“Who is to tell Tinubu that something is wrong with their brother? Please do something in the North. They wouldn’t dare,” he lamented.
