Former Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, the running mate of 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said that the former Anambra State Governor is at liberty to seek the party’s presidential ticket again for the 2027 elections, whether or not he uses him as his running mate.
Baba-Ahmed made this known on Wednesday during his appearance as a guest on The Morning Brief programme of Channels Television.
The Abuja – based Baze University proprietor said Nigeria needs leaders with the capacity to govern effectively and not deliver failure.
“They are two key individuals that I have tremendous respect for; one is Peter Obi. I welcome him openly.
“The Labour Party welcomes him to still come and retain the Labour Party ticket and contest in 2027 with or without me. And the ADC is welcome to adopt a southern candidate.
“We want capacity. We want compassion. We want people who will develop Nigeria, leaders that matter, leaders that deliver promises, not those who will promise governance and deliver disaster.”
