During a recent appearance on the Mic On Podcast, former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed delivered a candid and startling assessment of the nation’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections, asserting that no single presidential contender—not even his former principal, Peter Obi—possesses the capacity to singularly improve Nigeria. Elaborating on his shifting political alliances and the broader trajectory of the opposition, Datti reflected on Obi’s departure from the Labour Party—where he had been firmly established and adopted as a presidential candidate as early as 2024—to pitch his tent with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

All Progressives Congress (APC) foundation member Osita Okechukwu asserted on Sunday that African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has neglected a foundational principle, remarking that those who reside in glass houses ought to avoid throwing stones.

The former Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) stated that had Atiku considered this age-old lesson, he might have exercised more restraint instead of deploying a barrage of political attacks against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which allegedly includes retaining the expensive US lobbying firm Von Batten-Montague-York, L.L.C. Emphasizing that crime is not statute-barred and that past issues can resurface unexpectedly, Okechukwu invoked the legal maxim that anyone seeking equity must approach it with clean hands. He noted that while a Lagos High Court previously dismissed the matter, Agbonayinma’s high-profile money-laundering petition has effectively revived a two-decade-old frozen case, creating an image gridlock for Atiku, the EFCC, and the nation regardless of the final outcome.

Denying that his comments were intended to shield President Tinubu, Okechukwu clarified that he was merely advising political actors to steer clear of grandstanding and refocus their efforts on addressing critical issues such as lifting millions out of poverty.
