The Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, says none of President Bola Tinubu’s major opponents in the 2027 presidential election has the capacity to improve Nigeria.
Datti expressed this opinion during an interview on Mic On Podcast.
Making reference to his former principal, Peter Obi, Datti said the now NDC presidential candidate left his comfort zone when he abandoned the Labour Party.
He said: “None of the people contesting will improve Nigeria, including Peter Obi.
“Peter Obi left his comfort zone; he was adopted as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party as far back as 2024.
“When he was going to join ADC, I had to go to Yar’Adua Centre ahead of him, called him aside, and they were worried: why is Datti calling Obi aside?
“I told him that this is the last time that I’m coming to this place, but I want to tell you that this is not a place for you. Was I proven wrong? I was proven right, and within four months, Obi left ADC.
“I don’t like people who contradict themselves, and I don’t want to go into criticising the politics of Atiku because that’s not what I’m about.”
