The spokesperson for the Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Dr. Hakeem Baba–Ahmed, has been appointed as the Special Adviser on Political Matters to Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Hakeem, a retired Federal Permanent Secretary, is the older brother of Datti Baba–Ahmed, the running mate of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the February 25 election.

Hakeem Baba–Ahmed, who made the announcement of his new appointment via a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday, said he can no longer sit on the fence when he can be part of the system to contribute his quota to national development.

He expressed his eagerness to contribute to the nation’s development in his capacity as Special Adviser on Political Matters to the Vice President.

He wrote: “It is time to make it public that I have accepted the call to serve as Special Adviser (Political) to the VP.

“This is not the time for fence-sitting or criticism when you can be useful in turning the country round. I am honored and humbled. Please pray for me & Nigeria.”

Prior to his latest appointment, Baba–Ahmed held the position of Chief of Staff to former Senate President Bukola Saraki from 2017 to 2019

Governance shouldn't be about political with-hunt.

VP has passed his message.

Advanced Politicos.

Even the VC of his private university is today in the cabinet of Asiwaju Tinubu. Today, his elder brother is part of the Federal Executive yet some people hated and criminally defame Asiwaju Tinubu for same Datti. You lost once again. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Mugus talking about other people's appointment.
Are you not good for the appointment or you're just good to be singing empty praises online?

Or do you expect the old man to reject the appointment because his brother belongs to the opposition? Na his brother go feed am.

Useless people

Love and Hate are two equal forces, just opposites.
Their powers are exactly the same.
The way love will make a person do the unthinkable is exactly the same way hate will make the person do the same.
The way love will make a person do something that defies logic is exactly same way hate will.

Politics is supposed to be a process whereby people ensure they get the best of their welfare out of people called politicians. But read the top comments on this thread for example, they are all about vile hate for an ethnic group.
The commenters don't care whether they face economic hardship, insecurity, bleak futures for their generations unborn... All they are motivated by is the hatred for an ethnic group. They really don't need the politicians to do anything for them, all they need is anything that remotely points to triumph against that hated ethnic group.
None of them knows what the position the man was appointed to translates to in tangible terms for their own lives, they don't care, that is not what matters... It is the hate for an ethnic group...
Same way a parent can die for their kids out of love is same way they can die for this hate...
So many sub-humans occupying a geographical space..

APC is a plague
