Datti Baba-Ahmed
Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has criticised key opposition figures in Nigeria, including Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, describing them as “office seekers” rather than genuine opposition leaders.
Speaking during an appearance on Trust TV’s Daily Politics, Baba-Ahmed questioned the response of opposition politicians to the worsening security situation in parts of the country, particularly following recent bomb blasts in Borno State.
According to him, true opposition leadership requires direct engagement with citizens affected by insecurity rather than commentary from a distance.
