Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the Political Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has resigned.
Impeccable sources in The Presidency confirmed on Thursday that the former Spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) and brother to Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Vice Presidential candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 elections, tendered his resignation about two weeks ago.
The sources said Dr. BabaAhmed did not provide details of the reasons for his decision, only stating that it was on personal grounds.
However, as of the time of filing this report, it was unclear whether The Presidency had accepted his resignation.
Baba-Ahmed was appointed Special Adviser on Political Matters in the Office of Vice President Kashim Shettima in September 2023.
Over the past 17 months, he has represented The Presidency at several public fora, including a recent national conference themed: “Strengthening Nigeria’s Democracy: Pathway to Good Governance and Political Integrity”, which held from 28th to 29th January, 2025 in Abuja.
