Former Vice-Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has formally declared interest in contesting the presidency in 2027 general elections.
Baba-Ahmed made the declaration at a rally held at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
The declaration announcement is coming barely one week after
Obi announced his departure from the Labour Party, LP, for the African
Democratic Congress, ADC.
Speaking to party members and supporters, Baba-Ahmed said
his aspiration was neither reactionary nor dependent on Obi’s political
decisions, adding that his presidential ambition predates the 2023 election.
“I have made myself available to contest for the office in
2027. I’m not following anybody’s trajectory or stepping into anybody’s shoes.
“Can I please remind you that before His Excellency Governor
Peter Obi filed for the presidency, I aspired for the presidency before him?
The records are there for you to see,” he said.
