Datti Baba-Ahmed Calls Obi, Atiku Office Seekers

Datti Baba-Ahmed, the former vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, expressed his views on the political landscape in Nigeria, specifically regarding Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar. During an interview on Trust TV, he characterized both Obi and Abubakar as not being genuine opposition leaders but rather as individuals seeking office.

Baba-Ahmed made these comments while addressing questions about the forthcoming 2027 general elections. He indicated that despite the current political dynamics, there is a possibility for collaboration among opposition parties, particularly highlighting the good relationship between Peter Obi and himself.

He emphasized that true opposition should engage in active governance rather than merely seeking positions. Baba-Ahmed's remarks reflect a broader commentary on the nature of political engagement in Nigeria, suggesting that the actions of Obi and Abubakar do not align with the responsibilities of true opposition leaders.
