Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has described Peter Obi as his “boss”, saying he could have assisted the former Anambra State governor during the recent incident in Benue if he had been contacted.
Baba-Ahmed made the clarification while reacting to criticism over his recent statement that none of the presidential candidates seeking to replace President Bola Tinubu in 2027, including Obi, has the capacity to fix Nigeria.
Speaking on the Naija Unfiltered Podcast, Baba-Ahmed said being in a different political party with Obi had not affected their personal relationship.
“In reality, if you check what is between me and Peter Obi, and coming to the clarifications now, let me tell you: first and foremost, Obi is my boss. I still call him my boss,” he said.
He said he remained close enough to Obi to contact him directly and receive a response.
