Former vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has announced his plans to dump the Labour Party for the Peoples Redemption Party.
“There is no sense in what he (Mr Baba-Ahmed) said. It is absolute nonsense,” Mr Atiku’s spokesman told Peoples Gazette.
Mr Baba-Ahmed stated, ” The ADC is a lesser evil than the APC.”
Mr Baba-Ahmed’s statements followed Mr Obi’s defection from the Labour Party to the ADC in December.
Mr Baba-Ahmed stated, “I am not following anybody’s trajectory or stepping into anybody’s shoes.”
Mr Baba-Ahmed said, “My love for Nigeria is undying.’’
“The Labour Party is ideologically distinct, with programmes and philosophy that address Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges,” Mr Abure said.
Mr Baba-Ahmed said he was ready to reconcile Mr Obi and other disgruntled stakeholders in the LP to rebuild the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mr Baba-Ahmed, “I don’t yet see anyone in this coalition who can scheme and plan over 16 years.’’
“I have accepted the position,” said Mr Baba-Ahmed, who announced his appointment in the Hausa language in a Facebook post on Monday.
