Speaking on Trust TV on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Baba-Ahmed warned that the country’s troubles today are far deeper and more alarming than when Tinubu assumed office in 2023.
The former presidential aide painted a grim picture of rising insecurity, economic hardship, and nationwide fear. “We are in deeper trouble than when you came. Violence is becoming a lot more serious than we anticipated,” he said. Citizens across markets, farms, and neighborhoods are reportedly feeling the pressure as attacks intensify and spread to new areas.
Baba-Ahmed stressed that the challenges are no longer isolated—they are multiplying across sectors, affecting daily life and making it harder for Nigerians to cope. From worsening security conditions to economic strain, he said the current realities demand urgent attention.
The former aide also highlighted that the escalation of violence is unprecedented, with communities living in constant fear. He urged both the government and citizens to recognize the seriousness of the current climate and act decisively.
