Kaduna-born politician, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, is to be officially presented as Labour Party vice presidential candidate on Friday, Peoples Gazette reports.
Mr Baba-Ahmed would be unveiled by the party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi as his running-mate for the 2023 presidential election.
The ceremony is billed to be held at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, by 10:00 a.m., The Gazette learnt.
Doyin Okupe, who stood in as a placeholder vice presidential candidate, had hinted on the announcement Thursday afternoon while withdrawing the candidature.

Mr Baba-Ahmed, a former senator, is the founder of Abuja-based Baze University, a privately owned tertiary institution.
