Former Political Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has raised concern over Nigeria’s safety following the latest crisis involving Iran.
He shared this on Tuesday, the 3rd of March, 2026, during an appearance on Trust TV, where he addressed the military action carried out against Iran by the United States and Israel.
Reports had earlier stated that the US and Israel carried out air raids on Iran on Saturday, the 28th of February, 2026, leading to the death of the country’s Supreme Leader and several senior political figures.
Sharing his view on the development, Baba-Ahmed said, “Nigeria too is in trouble. We are not safe with what is going on in Iran.

“The world is by now aware of the fact that two days ago, the United States of America and Israel attacked the State of Iran, killed its leader and a number of very senior political and military officers, as well as a number of other citizens.
“Clearly, the United States had decided to affect regime change, meaning removal of the entire leadership of Iran and maybe installing a different one, or giving a chance to the citizens of Iran to choose who will next govern them.
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as neatly as leaders like President Donald Trump think. What we are likely to have is what we are beginning to see now, a lot of chaos, prolonged crisis, both within Iran and around it, and a lot of uproar around the world.”
