…Says iil still run with Obi

The 2023 vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said that he plans to run for the presidency in 2027, adding that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is deceiving Nigerians.

Baba-Ahmed, the running mate to Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election, stated this position on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today”
Speaking on the Friday edition of the programme, he said he desired that Obi, a former two-term governor of Anambra State, who has been linked with the ADC, would remain in the Labour Party and be the party’s flag bearer in 2027.

He said: “I’m in the Labour Party.

“I’m a Peter Obi man.

“I still want Peter Obi to come back to the Labour Party and contest the 2027 election.”

Asked whether he would be running mate to a presidential candidate in 2027, Baba-Ahmed said: “If Nigeria is still around and there is an electoral system to follow.

“My love for Nigeria is undying, and I would appropriately associate the group and individuals that are like-minded to restore Nigeria.”

Baba-Ahmed said there are two individuals he would deputise: “The first one has not said anything.

“The second one is Peter Obi.

“I’m always with Peter Obi until he decides not to.”

DSS summons Datti Baba-Ahmed for allegedly inciting military against Tinubu

Incendiary,Treasonable comments: Arrest Obi,Datti-Ahmed now – Keyamo Minister of State for Labour and spokesman of Bola Tinubu Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, has called for the arrest of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, and his vice, Datti Baba-Ahmed. Keyamo on Thursday, March 23, in a letter to the director general, Department of State Services, Aso Drive, Abuja, asked DSS to arrest them because they are not prepared to toe the conciliatory path for the sake of peace and national cohesion. The full letter sighted reads entitled: “PETITION AGAINST MR. PETER OBI AND DATTI BABA-AHMED FOR MAKING INCENDIARY COMMENTS AND CLAIMS CAPABLE OF CAUSING AN INSURRECTION OR REBELLION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA AND THE DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT-ELECT” The full letter reads: “I write this petition with the full realisation that in a post-election period such as this, there is a need to sooth frayed nerves, lower the temperature and begin the healing process. The President-Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a statement to this effect a few days ago. “However, it appears the President and Vice-Presidential Candidates of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed are not prepared to toe this conciliatory path for the sake of peace and national cohesion, whilst exercising their rights to pursue duly laid down constitutional means of addressing their grievances. In this regard, since the declaration of the Presidential election results, they have been hopping from one media house to the other making incendiary comments and claims about the declaration of the President-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). “These comments and claims are made, not just within the boundaries of exercising their rights to freedom of speech and the freedom to air their grievances publicly, but they have since crossed the line to call for the outright truncation of democracy by insisting on the adoption of other processes outside the contemplation of our Constitution. In some cases, their privies have even called for the establishment of an Interim Government. “The latest of such are the comments made by Datti Baba-Ahmed on behalf of himself and Mr. Peter Obi on Channels TV on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, wherein he threatened that if the President-Elect is sworn in on May 29th, 2023, it would “signal the end of democracy”. Posing as an accuser, a judge and a jury all by himself, he unilaterally declared the duly elected President-elect as “unconstitutional” and, in a subliminal manner, threatened mayhem if the President-Elect is sworn in on May 29th, 2023. “I also have it on good authority that Mr. Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed have camped some youths in a popular hotel in Abuja with the sole aim of instructing them to push out inciting messages everyday on social media in order to cause panic and fear within the federation and to incite people to riot and social unrest. “It is noteworthy that Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed have submitted Elections Petitions to the courts for adjudication, but their conducts and utterances amount to subversion of the processes they have instituted in court and a subversion of our Constitution and the laid-down processes for addressing disputes and grievances. These conducts and utterances are a build-up to something more sinister and it is important you rein them in NOW! “In the circumstance, I submit this petition in my personal capacity as a patriotic Nigerian to invite/arrest, interrogate and after investigation, if necessary, charge both individuals to court for their conducts which amount to incitement and treasonable felony.”
