Datti Baba-Ahmed Reveals What Would Convince Nigerians To Vote Peter Obi

According to the Labour Party’s (LP) vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the track record of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is sufficient to persuade Nigerians to support the party in the 2023 elections.

He claimed in a Channels Television interview on Tuesday that other political party candidates were relying on their financial resources and that they were “floating in an ocean of wealth and power.”

He said: “Labour Party candidates, assume I am not the only one speaking, are driven by their records. They are stepping on what they have succeeded in to attempt to lead Nigeria.

“Other candidates, I don’t have to mention their names, are swimming in the ocean of wealth and power, and so they want to rule Nigeria.”

Datti Baba-Ahmed bemoaned the fact that the people’s will was not represented in the previous elections and claimed that this was the cause of the sad and dubious status of Nigeria’s democracy.

He said: “One, democracy must not be about individuals or small groups or any group for that matter. It must be about a political entity for it to qualify as democratic. It should be about national and bigger interests.

“Two, the aspirations and the desires and the will of the people must reflect in their elections… which means we are yet to meet the second philosophical condition of democracy.

“The third one is that, as provided in the constitution, the people must hold power, on whose behalf the elected government exercises authority. What you have now is that government, once elected or they imposed themselves, they hold the power and exercise the authority.

“So, condition two is not there, and condition three is questionable.”
