Illyasu Musa Kwankwaso, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denied that northern politicians are forming an alliance to oppose President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027.

He called New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) mainstay Engr. Buba Galadima and Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the former political adviser to Vice President Kashim Shettima, “political spent forces” who are incapable of speaking for the North.

Kwankwaso went on to charge the two with trying to incite civil and political strife in the northern area.

Kwankwaso said in a statement issued by Hadejia Jama’are’s Executive Director (Finance): “The two personalities lack moral courage to talk about Tinubu administration because they were among the problems of the country.”

He attacked Baba-Ahmed’s brief stint in Tinubu’s government, implying that his resignation was motivated more by personal dissatisfaction than by moral convictions: “Hakeem Baba-Ahmed just recently accepted appointment in the Government of Tinubu thinking it was usual where appointee would made hell of money from public treasury but when he saw that’s not coming he resigned.”

“Today Hakeem Baba-Ahmed cannot tell why he accepted the job and also resigned because he lacks moral courage to talk about it,” Kwankwaso added.

Baba-Ahmed’s prior warning that any attempt by the current administration to rig the 2027 general elections would be fiercely opposed prompted this scathing reply.

However, Kwankwaso stated that Baba-Ahmed and Galadima’s lack of concrete contributions to the region and their previous positions in government have damaged their reputation in the North: “Baba-Ahmed was among those who cheated the North by their long services in government but have nothing to show as their contributions to the region they today claim to be defending.”

With loyalties and aspirations already laying the groundwork for a bitter political confrontation, the political war of words portends growing tensions in the North ahead of the upcoming general elections.
