Baba-Ahmed Questions Wike, Tinubu, Obi, Atiku’s London Meetings

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has condemned the recent meetings held between governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and some presidential candidates abroad.

The spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, wondered why Nigerian politicians travel abroad for critical meetings.

Although, while disclosing the reason behind the meetings, Governor Wike had said it was all about the future of Nigeria and the best way to put the country in better position.

But, Baba-Ahmed, in a series of tweets wrote: “Northerners are not the only ones in Europe and Asia. In the last few days, I saw Tinubu, Atiku, Ortom, Obi, Wike, and many others.

“We, they plan to govern, are the distractions? The deals they struck will be about how to handle us. Carve us out like carcass, and allocate powers and positions and resources to each other. Then they come back and set us to fight each other. It is all about them, and them alone

“Then they come back to Nigeria where we live with traffic and insecurity to ask us to trust them with power.

“What is it with London, Paris and Dubai that make them so attractive to our politicians when they want to discuss deals or untangle difficult matters? Just think how much it costs to go out of Nigeria to discuss Nigerian matters. Do we make too much noise? Are they afraid of us?”
