Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has advised President Bola Tinubu not to run for a second term in 2027. He shared this opinion during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Friday, April 18.

According to Baba-Ahmed, Tinubu has already had his chance and should not seek another term. He believes that the signs of losing the next election are clear for Tinubu and that continuing would not be wise.

“I expect Tinubu to throw in the towel if he is that smart politician. I’m not praising him at all. It’s not good to be what he is that I don’t want to say. He skipped 2007 and jokingly made Atiku (presidential) candidate, made Buhari in 2015, Buhari won, and then skipped 2019 and they stole 2023. If he is that smart, everything is there for him that he’s going to lose 2027. There are two possible candidates that I cannot mention, and they are the nemesis of Tinubu.

Tinubu’s time has come.”he said

He also criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC), calling it dishonest. Baba-Ahmed said that former President Muhammadu Buhari failed to develop the country or improve security during his time in office.

“Buhari did not fight corruption. Neither will Tinubu ever do this. So going forward, I see APC losing this election. I see Nigerians somehow uniting. Listening to what someone like me is saying that, look, if you cannot practise this democracy, it’s not for you. And then Nigerians will decide to come out and practise democracy for the first time.

And then bad leadership will begin to have no hiding place in Nigeria.

And then gradually, we’ll begin to heal our land, we’ll begin to recover, we’ll begin to unite and take each other as fellow Nigerians, brothers and sisters. Their time is up.” he said
