Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the former Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has suggested that President Bola Tinubu should not seek re-election if he considers himself a shrewd politician.
During an appearance on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” political program on Friday, Baba-Ahmed expressed his belief that Tinubu’s time in office is concluding.
He asserted that the evidence is clear for both the president and the ruling All Progressives Party (APC) to recognize their potential defeat in the 2027 elections.

“I expect Tinubu to throw in the towel if he is that smart politician that he turns out to be,” Baba-Datti asserted.
The Labour Party (LP) chieftain sarcastically referred to Tinubu as a “super smart politician” who began influencing presidential candidates as far back as 2007, ultimately leading to what he described as Tinubu’s “electoral heist” in 2023.
He said, “He skipped 2007 and jokingly made Atiku (presidential) candidate, made Ribadu and somebody 2011, made Buhari in 2015, Buhari won, and then skipped 2019 and they stole 2023. If he is that smart, everything is there for him that he’s going to lose 2027.”
Baba-Ahmed asserted that there are two potential candidates capable of defeating Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
He also stated that Tinubu would not fulfill his campaign promises to Nigerians, claiming that “it has been proven that APC is a lie.”
“Buhari did not develop Nigeria, Buhari did not provide security, Buhari did not fight corruption. Neither will Tinubu ever do this,” he said.
The Labour Party’s 2023 Vice Presidential candidate predicted that the APC would lose the 2027 election.
He expressed his belief that Nigerians will unite in the lead-up to the election and decisively vote out ineffective leaders.
“I see APC losing this election. I see Nigerians somehow uniting, listening to what someone like me is saying that if you cannot practice this, democracy is not for you, and then Nigerians will decide to come out and practice democracy for the first time, and then bad leadership will begin to have no hiding place in Nigeria,” he predicted.
