Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, has stated that his former principal, Peter Obi, would be welcomed back into the party if he fails to secure the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket.
Baba-Ahmed stated this on Friday during an interview on ‘The Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television..
According to him, it is better for Obi to come back to the platform on which they contested the 2023 presidential election.
“I also said if Peter Obi does not get the ticket there in ADC, he is more than welcome back to the Labour Party.
“I will stand there and nobody will do anything bad to Peter Obi. It is better for him to come back than for him to do another type of agenda,” he said.
This is coming following the defection of into the African Democratic Congress, ADC, coalition, about three years after they contested on a joint ticket for the presidency under the Labour Party.
He, however, said that he is proud of what he and Obi have achieved together.
