The Labour Party (LP) has given a directive to the whole media team of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, regarding the APC’s presidential ticket (APC).
Recall that former Borno Governor Kashim Shettima, a northern Muslim, was named as Bola Tinubu’s running mate on Sunday. Bola Tinubu is the APC’s presidential candidate and is a Muslim from the south.
Liberals and religious groups that lean Christian have harshly criticized this choice.

When asked to comment on the APC ticket, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the Chief Spokesperson for the Obi-Datti Campaign, urged all media team to concentrate on the qualifications of Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed in an internal memo dated 11/7/22 and cited by Newsmen.
The memo reads: “To: All Concerned, Media Team of Obi-Datti Campaign, 2023
“Please, as directed by the Leadership of the Obi-Datti Campaign, we wish to inform our Media team and Spokespersons in the Labour Party to avoid and steer clear of discussions on APC’s Muslim/Muslim ticket as we have been advised to resist being dragged into the debate by the Press.
“Our responses, if necessary, should be ‘though we are mindful of the activities of our political opponents, we do not concern ourselves with their internal political parties issues, and so we are essentially focused on our mantra of taking back Nigeria and changing the country from consumption to production.’
