Datti: Hakeem Baba-Ahmed a Major Threat to Tinubu

On Tuesday, during an appearance on Channels Television's political program, Yusuf Datti, the 2023 vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party, asserted that Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, a prominent figure in the People’s Redemption Party (PRP), represents a serious challenge to Bola Tinubu's presidency ahead of the 2027 elections. Datti emphasized that Baba-Ahmed should not be underestimated, highlighting his extensive political experience and intellectual background as a seasoned public servant.

He criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) for potentially underestimating Baba-Ahmed's capabilities, suggesting that this could be a strategic mistake for the ruling party. Datti's remarks underscore the competitive landscape of the upcoming elections, indicating that Baba-Ahmed's political strength could significantly impact the APC's position.
