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.”
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
