Baba-Ahmed, in an interview with Channels Television, insisted that the Labour Party won the 2023 presidential poll.
On the 2023 elections, he insisted that the Labour Party won the poll, saying: “Today in Abuja, you have the Moshood Abiola Stadium; you have Democracy Day because they believed that the late MKO won the election. The result of June 12 was never declared, yet they believed, and today it stands. So I believe we won the 2023 elections. If not, why was IReV switched off shamelessly?
APC did not win the election, but the court has the power.
“If you want justice, make sure you have served justice in the past. Make sure you are a clean person and you have not done all those wrong things. What APC is basking on is that they are election riggers, inflating contracts,
“If you allow that election to stay, that would be the end of democracy. You have a regime whose primary purpose is to destabilise other political parties. They have succeeded in destroying other political parties. At the expense of what they should have done by providing security, improving our economy, and stopping the stealing, which they don’t do.”
Asked for his evidence, Datti said: “My capital evidence that APC is behind this is that they have failed in everything. They have failed in improving our lives, and that is enough evidence.
With the kind of wealth Nigeria has, why were two brigadier generals killed? Whoever is going to defeat Tinubu must be somebody impeccable. And Nigeria has people with clean characters. And the crime we have committed against ourselves is those people staying away.”
He further added that he is set to leave the Labour Party and join the People’s Redemption Party, PRP.
According to him, the decision follows internal disagreements within the Labour Party, which he said has drifted from its original ideals.
“I am leaving the Labour Party tomorrow(today). There is more to it. What the Labour Party stood for then is no longer what it is today,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed added that his exit from the party would take effect at midnight, stressing that his next political destination is the PRP.
“I am leaving the Labour Party at midnight, and I am joining PRP. PRP is the new destination. PRP is the one with a history. It’s about 75 years old,” he stated.
The PRP, founded in 1978 by the late Aminu Kano, is one of Nigeria’s oldest political movements, known for its progressive ideology.
Baba-Ahmed ran alongside Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in the 2023 general election.
