A former aide to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed has revealed that he never had to chance to see the President, only seen him three times at the Mosque.
Baba Ahmed, who served in the Office of the Vice President made the revelation on ARISE TV that he joined the government with high hopes and expectations, but ultimately found the experience disappointing.
He said: “I only saw President Tinubu three times in the mosque in the presidential villa. But I had never had a chance to sit down and talk with President Tinubu. I think part of the problem is that Tinubu never had time for people like us. I don’t think he had time for a lot of people working for him,” he added.
Baba Ahmed described the president as “really and genuinely isolated,” whether by choice or circumstance, and stressed that this isolation poses a challenge for the country.
“The bottom line is, he ought to be available for the people he trusted and worked for him. And that’s the problem for the country, not for him.”
