The 2023 Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said that he is set to abandon the Labour Party and join the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP.

 

 

Datti Baba-Ahmed announced this on Tuesday while fielding questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

 

He attributed his decision to internal disagreements within the Labour Party, which he said had drifted from its original ideals.

 

 

“I am leaving the Labour Party tomorrow (Wednesday). There is more to it. When there was real peace in the Labour Party, was when they posted back.

 

“They redeployed someone with a specific purpose, and because of the antecedent of the individual to make life difficult, particularly for me. What the Labour Party stood for then is no longer what it is Today,” he said.

 

 

According to the politician, his exit from the party would take effect at midnight, stressing that his next political destination is the PRP.

 

“I am leaving the Labour Party at midnight, and I am joining PRP. PRP is the new destination. PRP is the one with a history. It’s about 75 years old,” he added.
