Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, former Vice Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has explained why he did not align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), reacting to the backlash that greeted his decision.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television, he admitted that many people reacted strongly after hearing that he would not be joining the party. He said he felt the need to clear the air as some people misunderstood his reasons and thought his decision was meant to offend party members.
He said he made his decision according to his own plans and careful thinking of his political path, it was reported. He said the decision was not made out of any anger or dislike or disrespect for the party or anyone connected with it.
He also noted that political decisions can be complicated, and are typically made with input from a variety of factors that may not always be visible to the public.
He said: “I am really sorry, I can’t join the ADC it is nothing personal. “I gave them my reasons why I didn’t join them, a lot of them took offense, a lot of them took it personal and I apologize.”
Meanwhile, the former Senator has concluded plans to ditch the Labour Party (LP) and join the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
He said the decision to defect to the PRP was as a result of internal wrangling within the Labour Party which he said had drifted from its founding ideals.
