Former Labour Party Vice-Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, says he personally advised Peter Obi to work with former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, long before discussions about a political alliance between both men gained public attention.
Baba-Ahmed disclosed this in an interview on Symfoni TV, stating that he encouraged Obi to build broader political partnerships as part of efforts to strengthen the opposition ahead of future elections.
He reiterated that the conversation took place in January 2024, shortly after the 2023 presidential election.
“I tracked him and asked him, ‘What is your plan going forward?’ When I didn’t get a clear plan, I said, ‘If you don’t have a plan, sir, work with Kwankwaso,” Baba-Ahmed disclosed.
According to the former vice-presidential candidate, his recommendation was informed by his belief that defeating the ruling APC would require long-term organisation, coalition-building and strategic planning.
