The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has
unveiled his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed.
Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed, the founder of Baze University,
Abuja, was announced as the LP vice-presidential candidate in Abuja on Friday.
The 46-year-old was a former lawmaker who represented Kaduna
North Senatorial district.
Baba-Ahmed’s announcement was coming barely 24 hours after
the Director-General, Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, announced
his withdrawal as the vice-presidential candidate of the party.
Okupe who announced his withdrawal via his verified Twitter
handle @doyinokupe noted that his party would announce the new running mate to
the presidential candidate.
“This afternoon I submitted my withdrawal letter from the
position of the Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party to INEC. A
replacement will be announced by d national chairman of d party shortly. I feel
greatly blessed to have been part of the foundation of success 4 the LP,” Okupe
tweeted.
Like the ruling All Progressives Congress, the Labour party
had named Okupe as the interim vice presidential candidate of the LP in order
to beat the deadline by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
