Datti Baba-Ahmed on Teaming Up with Peter Obi in 2023

Datti Baba-Ahmed disclosed that he joined Peter Obi's campaign for the 2023 presidential election after three prominent politicians declined the position of running mate. He noted that the search for a running mate was emotionally challenging and left him unsettled.

Baba-Ahmed emphasized that his involvement was voluntary and driven by a desire to contribute positively to Nigeria. He later became closely associated with the Labour Party, which has been under scrutiny due to its internal leadership crisis and factional disputes.

Baba-Ahmed criticized Obi's decision to leave the Labour Party amid these challenges, arguing that political instability is not unique to any single platform. He insisted on the importance of collaboration to address Nigeria's political issues and maintained that he and Obi's political identities remain independent despite their alliance.

The political landscape has evolved, with Baba-Ahmed also mentioning a brief association with the African Democratic Congress and concerns regarding the Nigeria Democratic Congress.
