Ahmed also highlighted the current economic difficulties, exacerbated by Tinubu’s reform policies, and urged the country’s economic managers to revive the economy, acknowledging the hardship faced by citizens.
He expressed uncertainty about the timeline for the full realization of Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.”.
The APC chieftain emphasized that the country is facing a “difficult period” and that the focus should be on addressing the economic challenges.
He made this assertion when he appeared on Mic On Podcast, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye and aired on Monday, December 9, 2024.
He said: “It will be difficult for Tinubu to win if he goes into an election today.
“It will be a difficult one, it will be a difficult election. He lost Kano state the last time.”
Barrister Ismael Ahmed added: “I don’t know. I’m not an economist. It is a difficult period. Let’s not sugarcoat it, let’s not talk about anything else.
“This is a difficult period. The president accepts and admits it that much, we know that much. I’m not a tax or policy expert. I think that is a job for the economic managers of the country. I think they should do that.”
