Former Labour Party, LP, presidential running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has revealed why he left the Nigeria Democratic Congress(NDC), presidential candidate, Peter Obi, because he has no plans for Nigeria.
Datti was Obi’s running mate for the presidency under the LP in 2023.
After the election, Obi defected to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, before moving to the NDC.
However, Datti said he would not disadvantage President Bola Tinubu by unnecessarily supporting the ADC’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and Obi.
In an interview on Symfoni TV, Datti said: “I won’t unfairly help promote Baba Atiku and Peter Obi and others just for no good reason because we need to be fair in life, and that’s what I stand for.
“I worked really hard for Peter Obi, but his team doesn’t remember things very well. I let Peter Obi know that he needs to come up with a plan since he doesn’t have one yet.
“Peter Obi didn’t abandon me; I left because he doesn’t have a plan for Nigeria. Peter Obi knows I stood for him. I still stand by him. It’s sad to see the moves he made. But it is his choice.”
