The Kaduna Solidarity Vanguard, has expressed strong reservations over the recent resignation of Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed as Special Adviser on Politics to Vice President Kashim Shettima, describing the move as politically opportunistic and self-serving.
The group accused Baba-Ahmed of leveraging public trust for personal advancement, describing his political choices as an attempt to manipulate public sentiment rather than engage in genuine service.
The chairman, Lawal Tanimu, in a statement, said Baba-Ahmed’s resignation reveals a deeper political narrative that should not be ignored by the public.
He said that Baba-Ahmed’s resignation reveals a deeper political narrative that should not be overlooked.
“This opportunistic shift, perceived as an attempt to manipulate public sentiment, undermines the integrity of political engagement,” Taminu said.
“The northern people, having endured substantial hardships, deserve leaders who genuinely advocate for their interests rather than those who seek to exploit their trust for personal gain. Such deception will inevitably be met with resistance.
“Dr. Baba-Ahmed’s tenure in office has been characterized by a series of antics that have now been thoroughly exposed. His resignation is not a principled stand or an act of integrity; rather, it is a calculated move by an individual who has consistently prioritized personal gain over the interests of the people he claims to represent.
“It is evident that his initial acceptance of the appointment was driven by the allure of financial rewards, rather than a genuine commitment to serving the Nigerian populace.
“It is important to highlight that Dr. Baba-Ahmed’s departure comes on the heels of a realization that the Vice President himself has been sidelined in the current political landscape.
“With a budget allocation of only Naira 36 billion to the office, it became clear that the environment was not conducive for his aspirations. Faced with these constraints, Dr. Baba-Ahmed chose to abandon his post, opting instead to return to the public sphere as an activist.
“We must question his motives: is he truly committed to the cause of the people, or is he merely seeking to continue his pattern of deception among the gullible segments of our population?”
The group called on Northerners to question the motives behind Baba-Ahmed’s resignation and reemergence in the public discourse.
