Former vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Datti Baba Ahmed has warned critics against causing issues between him and the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi.

 

 

Datti spoke in an interview with Channels TV on Sunday while responding to criticism that he was unable to win his ward and Local Government for the Labour Party in 2023.

 

He said Obi, who was the presidential candidate of the LP in 2023, remains in his list of respected politicians.

 

 

According to Datti, though they have both parted and are now in different political parties, they have mutual respect for each other.

 

He said, “Nobody will cause a problem between me and my boss, Peter Obi. We can be in different parties today but I still have respect for him as someone who governed and someone who doesn’t give shishi.

 

 

“Peter Obi and I have mutual respect for each other, so nobody will come between us”.
