National Chairman of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has revealed that he resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) just six months after former President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office in 2015, citing an early decision to distance himself from the ruling party.
Baba-Ahmed made the disclosure during an interview on Arise News, where he reflected on his role in the political movement that brought Buhari to power and why he chose to leave shortly after the administration began. According to him, his departure from the APC was a public and deliberate decision made years ago.
Speaking during the interview from 2:06, Baba-Ahmed said, “I resigned from APC many years ago. I was part of the process that helped to bring Buhari to power. After 6 months of him being president in 2015, I publicly resigned from APC.”
His comments come amid ongoing national conversations about political accountability, governance, and the legacy of past administrations. Baba-Ahmed’s statement also adds to broader debates surrounding the formation of political alliances in Nigeria and the internal disagreements that have shaped major parties over the years.
By emphasizing that he exited the APC early in Buhari’s tenure, Baba-Ahmed appeared to distance himself from decisions and outcomes associated with the administration that followed. Although he did not elaborate extensively on the reasons behind his resignation in the extract, the remarks suggest longstanding dissatisfaction with the direction of the party and government.
