Former Spokesperson for the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has faulted coalition talks, saying there are divisions among its leaders.
Baba-Ahmed, who appeared on Arise TV’s ‘Morning Show’ on Monday, was speaking against the backdrop of opposition leaders who applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) as a political party ahead of the 2027 general election.
According to him, none of them is qualified to be a leader; rather, they can work behind the scenes.
“There are divisions among coalition members. None of these people should lead or be seen in a position that they are determining who should be in that coalition.
“They can work behind the scenes. What they need is a generational shift and a political shift away from who they are, what they have done, and what they want to do.
“Different kinds of Nigerians who can give Nigerians hope, than people who have become vice-president and contested three times, become governors and ministers,” he stated.
