The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has
been cautioned against his reported choice of Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed as his
running mate.
Deji Adeyanju, popular socio-political commentator, said
Obi’s choice of Baba-Ahmed as his running mate was a political suicide.
Reports have it that Obi would pick Baba-Ahmed, who is the
proprietor of Baze University in Abuja and Baba-Ahmed University Kano, as his
running mate on Friday.
This followed the decision of Obi’s placeholder, Doyin
Okupe, to step down as the party’s presidential running mate.
However, Adeyanju said Baba-Ahmed cannot ensure LP win his
local government area in 2023.
In a Facebook post, Adeyanju said an alliance with the New
Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, would have made more impact.
He wrote: “It is political suicide to pick a VP candidate
who cannot deliver something as ordinary as his LGA for you in a presidential
election. Anyways, everyone will wake up from the social media delusion soon.
“Kwankwaso can deliver his state, and many former Govs will
also do well. When we criticize, we are doing so with deep understanding of
Nigeria. One thing is clear now, this is nothing serious but just a social
media good feeling presidency dream.”
