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.”
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
