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.
