Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, has dismissed the newly formed opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as nothing but a ploy to deceive Nigerians.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Baba-Ahmed was blunt in his reaction to the coalition reportedly championed by Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El-Rufai, and Peter Obi.
“They are deceiving us. Yes, I’m a Labour Party member for God’s sake. I still want Peter Obi to come back to the Labour Party and contest for the 2027 election,” he said.
The outspoken politician stressed that he is more focused on fundamental national issues, noting that there are weightier matters than the ADC arrangement.
Baba-Ahmed also reiterated his loyalty to the Labour Party and restated his preference for Peter Obi as the 2027 flagbearer.
