Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the 2023 vice Presidential candidate for the Labour Party has said that he would oppose anyone who would be contesting against Peter Obi in the 2027 election.
Baba-Ahmed while speaking in an interview on Trust Television noted while he might have the ambition to vie for the president of Nigeria, he does not think there is a better candidate than Obi.
A running mate to Obi in the 2023 presidential election, Baba-Ahmed said he would like the former Anambra governor to take over the affairs of the nation.
He said, “If Peter Obi is contesting, I will oppose someone challenging him, even if that someone is myself, I will oppose myself to challenge Peter Obi.”
Speaking further, Baba-Ahmed noted that is only desire for Nigeria is that the growing insecurity and incessant killings across the nation are nipped in the bud.
He also expressed deep concern over the countless ransacking of villages, destruction of homes and property by terrorists and bandits alike.
According to him, it is inappropriate for the “bad people” to continue to misrule Nigerians.
I would like Peter Obi to win again in 2027. My main ambition is to stop the killings, I don’t want every time I read in the newspaper, there is a new dimension to the insecurity.
There are some villages sacked, some place in Benue State in Plateau State. I don’t like that kind of news and I just cannot sit down and let – I don’t want to use the word now – and let bad people continue to misrule us,” Baba-Ahmed said.
