Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a former presidential adviser and respected political analyst, has issued a sharp rebuke of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing it of widespread corruption, resource mismanagement, and a blatant disregard for the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.

Speaking candidly on the state of the nation, Baba-Ahmed expressed deep disappointment over the government's failure to deliver meaningful improvements in governance and living standards, despite promises made during the 2023 election campaign. He warned that the current trajectory of wasteful spending and entrenched corruption could plunge the country further into economic and social instability.

Baba-Ahmed, known for his insider knowledge of Nigeria’s political system, criticized the administration for squandering public funds without delivering tangible results. According to him, government spending has become detached from the realities faced by citizens, many of whom continue to grapple with poverty, inflation, and a lack of basic amenities.

He also highlighted the systemic nature of corruption in Nigeria, arguing that it has become deeply embedded in government operations. Baba-Ahmed accused political leaders of prioritizing personal enrichment over national development, further widening the gap between the ruling elite and the suffering masses.

The remarks come amid growing discontent among Nigerians over deteriorating infrastructure and the government's inability to provide consistent electricity, clean water, and accessible healthcare. With roads in disrepair and public institutions underfunded, many citizens believe the government is out of touch with their daily struggles.

Criticism of the Tinubu administration has intensified as the cost of living continues to rise and job opportunities remain scarce. Baba-Ahmed's comments reflect a broader sentiment of frustration and urgency among the population, particularly in light of unmet promises to revive the economy and improve public services.

His message is clear: unless the government takes decisive action to eliminate waste and corruption, and redirects resources toward the needs of its people, the crisis of confidence in public leadership will only deepen.
