*** Says Nigeria has wounded everybody

By Henry Umoru, Abuja

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDRC), ahead of next year’s election, Peter Obi, has said that in spite of what the former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, said, none of the major opposition figures seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu next year have the capacity to improve Nigeria; he remains his ally and brother.

The former Anambra State governor said that none of the views of Datti Baba-Ahmed can diminish their brotherhood, saying that they may differ politically, including over the direction Nigeria’s future should take, but said that those differences will never make him and Datti enemies.

Baba-Ahmed had, in a recent statement, expressed concern over the depth of Nigeria’s systemic problems, arguing that no single individual could rescue the country.
