Datti Baba-Ahmed, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) vice presidential candidate, has claimed that some elderly politicians are deterring younger politicians with better ideas with their costly political style and a dishonest system consisting of godfathers and false promises.
In an appearance on Channels Television on Friday, Baba-Ahmed reportedly urged Atiku to abandon his plans to run for president in 2027.
While Datti was a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), he said that Atiku Abubakar had already begun running for president of Nigeria.
He urged the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate to let the younger generation take control of politics and look for solutions to the nation’s issues.
He stated, “Baba Atiku was a candidate when I was doing my NYSC, and we ran together in the primaries in 2018.” When his vice president left him in 2023, we ran again, me as vice president, in a different location. Oh my god, in 2027 once more?
“A new generation of Nigerian leaders is required, and they do exist.” A whole new generation is waiting for a new leader to guide them to a new party, as I mentioned. Nigerians can be good people.
“There are individuals who are capable of resolving Nigerian issues, but they are deterred by the costly, challenging, and deceitful system that is full of godfathers and false promises to make. However, some decent Nigerians are searching for a leader who can solve Nigeria’s issues.
