Datti Claims He Advised Obi on Kwankwaso Alliance

Datti, the vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, stated that he advised Peter Obi to form an alliance with Kwankwaso for the upcoming 2027 elections. This claim was made during an event in Abuja, where Obi was present for the unveiling of the Labour Party's national headquarters.

Datti expressed doubts about the alliance's potential success but emphasized the need to start planning early for the 2027 elections. He also mentioned the importance of addressing the Labour Party's internal crisis.

Reactions from the Obidients movement dismissed Datti's assertion, insisting that Obi remains focused on challenging the current administration led by Bola Tinubu. Datti's claims regarding initiating talks between Obi and Kwankwaso were also met with skepticism, as he later engaged with Kwankwaso's camp in Kano, asserting that current political alignments are influenced by various individuals and groups.
