Datti Baba-Ahmed Says He Is Ready to Team Up with Peter Obi Again in 2027
Labour Party’s 2023 vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has hinted that he is open to teaming up again with Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential race, on one condition: Nigeria’s electoral system must be credible.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Baba-Ahmed said his commitment to Nigeria remains strong and that he would align with individuals and groups who share his vision for the country.
“If Nigeria still stands and there’s a proper electoral process, my love for this nation is undying,” he said, stressing that Obi remains a figure he deeply respects. “There are two individuals I would willingly follow. The first has not spoken publicly, so I won’t reveal his name. The second is Peter Obi, always Peter Obi, until he chooses otherwise.”
When asked about the possibility of working with former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, he clarified, “The first person is not Amaechi. Amaechi is a good man, but why do you think I must always be a deputy? Stop looking at me only as a deputy.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
