Datti Baba-Ahmed has revealed why he accepted to be the running mate of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for the 2023 elections.

Report has it that Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed was announced as the LP vice-presidential candidate in Abuja on Friday.

In his acceptance speech,Baba-Ahmed said he accepted to be Obi’s running mate because he “believes in Mr Obi’s capacity to make Nigeria live up to its billing”.

The former Kaduna lawmaker added that he also trusts that Obi would not mismanage the nation’s wealth, adding that the outing of the Labour Party candidate as Anambra governor lends credence to that.
