Former Labour Party VP candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed argues that Atiku Abubakar could have practically guaranteed himself the 2027 presidency had he displayed the same political patience and strategy as Bola Tinubu. During an interview on Channels Television, Baba-Ahmed asserted that if Atiku had stepped back and supported the Obi-Datti ticket in 2023—mirroring how Tinubu once offered platforms to others—he and Peter Obi would likely have reciprocated that support in 2027. Baba-Ahmed noted that most opposition figures, unlike Tinubu, lack the patience to “bide their time” for long-term political gain and cautioned that Tinubu is currently dismantling the opposition coalition’s plans because they failed to heed his warnings or secure a compelling, “decent outlier” candidate like Buhari was in 2015.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Datti Baba-Ahmed has provided a striking post-mortem analysis, claiming Atiku Abubakar is solely to blame for derailing his potential 2027 presidential bid by refusing to support Peter Obi in 2023. Baba-Ahmed, in a Channels Television interview, used President Bola Tinubu as a contrasting example of political strategy, highlighting Tinubu’s willingness to offer his party’s platform to figures like Atiku (2007) and Buhari (2015) while waiting for his opportune moment. According to Baba-Ahmed, if Atiku had supported the LP ticket in 2023, Baba-Ahmed himself would have stepped down and urged Obi to back Atiku in 2027. He characterized opposition politicians as easily entranced by the desire to be president, lacking the patience for calculated, multi-election planning, and predicted Tinubu will outmaneuver the current “overly excited” coalition because they ignored his advice to find a strong, rallying figure.

Datti Baba-Ahmed believes Atiku Abubakar missed a crucial strategic opportunity that would have cemented his place as the 2027 president. Speaking on Channels Television, the former LP VP candidate claimed that Atiku’s path to the 2027 presidency was through supporting the Peter Obi movement in 2023. Baba-Ahmed even went as far as saying, “Wallahi, I would have agreed, and I would have told Peter Obi to agree,” had Atiku taken everyone by surprise and offered a “junior, I’ll support you” approach similar to Bola Tinubu’s political style. Baba-Ahmed contrasted this lack of patience with Tinubu’s calculated history of offering platforms to political heavyweights while planning his long-term ascension. He concluded by criticizing the current opposition coalition for ignoring his warnings about getting “overly excited” and failing to secure a decent candidate around which the public could rally against the formidable Tinubu machine.

In an insightful interview with Channels Television, former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed broke down the strategic misstep he believes Atiku Abubakar made, which severely impacts his chances for the 2027 election. Baba-Ahmed stated:

• The Missed Opportunity: He argued that Atiku Abubakar “would have had a chance of winning the 2027 presidency if he had supported Peter Obi in 2023.“

• The Tinubu Analogy: He drew a sharp contrast with President Bola Tinubu, who displayed immense patience and strategy by offering his political platforms to other candidates—such as Atiku in 2007 and late President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015—while calculating his own long-term move.

• A Hypothetical Pact: Baba-Ahmed claimed that if Atiku had chosen that path, he “would have agreed to step down in 2027 and urged Obi to do the same.“

• Critique of the Opposition: He criticized other opposition figures for lacking this kind of patience and becoming “entranced” by the desire for immediate power. He also cautioned the current opposition coalition to calm their “excessive excitement,” as Tinubu is fully aware of their game and is actively working to dismantle their plans, especially given their failure to rally behind a “decent outlier” candidate.
