Naira Redesign: Time Against Tinubu, Atiku To Finish Spending Money Kept – Baba-Ahmed 

The Labour Party’s (LP) vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, claims that the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, do not have enough days to spend the money they have “held.”

Baba-Ahmed appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

Atiku, 76, and Tinubu, 70, are the ruling parties’ leading presidential contenders for 2023.

According to Peter Obi, the running partner of the 61-year-old LP presidential candidate, the APC and the PDP just have mechanisms to distribute money and not to effect effective administration to improve individuals’ lives.

“There is no such thing as structures; it is the conflagration of people interested in collecting the money they have kept. That money must be collected by somebody; you can’t leave them to get away with that money.

“Tinubu does not have enough days in his life to finish spending that money. Atiku does not have enough days in his life to spend all that money. So, they need to spend it on the 2023 elections. And people, if you have money to spend, they will collect it,” Baba-Ahmed said.

He insisted that the LP is “well-resourced” but won’t spend money it can’t account for. He stressed that the two dominant parties have the so-called “structures” without governance having “misruled” Nigeria collectively since 1999 when the country returned to democracy, signalling the beginning of the Fourth Republic.

“Only one party has a genuine structure, and that is the Labour Party,” Baba-Ahmed said.

Before the APC administration of President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015, the PDP produced three Presidents (Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’adua, and Goodluck Jonathan) in the 16 years since 1999.
