The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 elections, Yusuf Datti Baba- Ahmed, has revealed why he parted ways with President Muhammadu Buhari, both of whom were together in the same political party, the Congress for Progressives Change(CPC).
Datti Baba-Ahmed was a prominent member of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC). Under the party, he was elected to represent Kaduna North Senatorial District in 2011.
While speaking to the Daily Sun recently in Kano on why they parted ways with Buhari, Datti said the President lost his ‘principles and bearings’ over time. He added that this made it difficult for people like himself to abide by his political philosophy and ideas.
Also, he appealed to Nigerians to ignore the outburst of the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, who recently dissed the Labour Party(LP) that they could not gather 200 people in Kaduna State for the proposed ‘Two Million March For Peter Obi.’
He said: “Even in this room, just before I stepped in here, I had shaken hands with over 200 persons.”
He added that the outburst of El-Rufai was not reasonable and not worthy of a serious response.
