Datti Baba-Ahmed Declares 2027 Presidency Bid After Peter Obi's Exit
Former Vice President and Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed officially declared his intention to run for the 2027 presidency at a rally held at the Labour Party's national secretariat in Abuja. This move comes shortly after Peter Obi, the party's 2023 presidential candidate, announced his departure to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC), leading to speculation about realignments within the opposition.
Baba-Ahmed emphasized that his presidential ambition is not influenced by Obi's actions and marks the beginning of a competitive race within the Labour Party. The political activities are gradually intensifying ahead of the 2027 general elections.
