PRP chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed says President Bola Tinubu’s administration is a failure, arguing that Tinubu inherited Nigeria’s weak institutions, poverty and insecurity but has not fixed them after about three and a half years. Baba-Ahmed makes the case in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, also saying conditions for Nigerians are worse than when Tinubu took office in 2023.
PDP chieftain Segun Sowunmi responds by attacking Baba-Ahmed’s remarks. Multiple outlets report that Sowunmi fires back at Baba-Ahmed for calling Tinubu a failure, framing the dispute as a personal and regional-style rebuttal, including the “Northern kid” line used in their headlines. Other coverage focuses more directly on Baba-Ahmed’s criticisms of the government’s failure to meet promises on security and living conditions.
Across reports, the core points remain the same: Baba-Ahmed’s negative assessment of Tinubu, the emphasis on inherited problems versus lack of improvement, and Sowunmi’s counterattack. Outlets differ mainly in how prominently they spotlight the rebuttal and the “Northern kid” framing rather than on new policy details.
