The Social Democratic Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Adewole Adebayo, has faulted Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed’s assessment of opposition figures seeking to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 election, had said none of the opposition contenders seeking to replace Tinubu, including his former principal, Peter Obi, possessed the capacity to improve Nigeria.
Speaking on the Mic On Podcast recently, Baba-Ahmed advised Tinubu to prepare to hand over power, arguing that opposition politicians remained tied to the established political class.
But appearing on Arise News’ News Night on Sunday, Adebayo rejected what he described as a sweeping assessment, saying Baba-Ahmed should “restrict his conclusions to politicians with whom he had personal dealings.”
