I’M INDEPENDENT, PETER OBI DOESN’T OWN ME’ — DATTI BABA-AHMED

Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has declared that he remains an independent political figure and is not controlled by Peter Obi.
Datti made the statement amid growing political conversations surrounding the future of the Labour Party and possible alignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, while he shares political ideals with Obi, he has his own opinions, principles, and political identity.
The remark has already triggered reactions among supporters and critics, with many interpreting it as a sign of possible cracks or strategic repositioning within the opposition camp ahead of 2027.
Political observers believe the statement could further intensify discussions about leadership, influence, and coalition politics within Nigeria’s opposition movement.
