Ahmed cited Tinubu’s loss in Kano during the 2023 elections as a significant challenge, as well as the current economic difficulties facing the country.
In an appearance on Mic On Podcast, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, Ahmed stated that it would be “difficult” for Tinubu to win if elections were held today. “It will be a difficult one, it will be a difficult election. He lost Kano state the last time,” Ahmed said.
The APC chieftain also highlighted the economic hardships faced by Nigerians, exacerbated by Tinubu’s reform policies. Ahmed urged the country’s economic managers to revive the economy, acknowledging the difficulties faced by citizens.
Ahmed expressed uncertainty about the timeline for the full realization of Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.” He emphasized that the country is facing a “difficult period” and that the focus should be on addressing the economic challenges.
“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,” Ahmed said.
