“About six months into Buhari’s presidency I resigned my membership of the party because I could see then that I didn’t think that Buhari became President to run the country.
“I think he just wanted to become a President, just six months into that, and I left.
“I think there are some similarities between Tinubu and Buhari, they both wanted to become President for personal reasons more than anything else.
“I think that they have laboured in the political process for so long that it became about them and that is the wrong reason to seek political power.
“You want power so that you can govern people and improve things, it must never be about you” – Baba-Ahmed.

Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari are two sides of the same coin who became Presidents for “personal reasons” of self-glory, not to ensure Nigeria’s progress through good leadership, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has said.
Both men never occupied the Villa to run Nigeria but simply because each “just wanted to become President,” the former Adviser to Tinubu declared on Channels Television this week.
Asked if he would join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, Baba-Ahmed said: “I haven’t. I have a party. I’m a member of the PRP.
“I was the Chairman of APC in my state for three years. I was the Chairman when we transited from CPC and went into the coalition with Tinubu’s [ACN) party.
“About six months into Buhari’s presidency I resigned my membership of the party because I could see then that I didn’t think that Buhari became President to run the country.
“I think he just wanted to become a President, just six months into that, and I left.
“I think there are some similarities between Tinubu and Buhari, they both wanted to become President for personal reasons more than anything else.
“I think that they have laboured in the political process for so long that it became about them and that is the wrong reason to seek political power.
“You want power so that you can govern people and improve things, it must never be about you.”
