Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said that his former principal, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar are not opposition leaders but office seekers.
Baba-Ahmed made the statement on Thursday while responding to questions on Trust TV.
He was talking about the upcoming 2027 general elections and the prospects of the opposition political parties.
“Peter Obi was my boss, and is still my boss. We still have a good relationship, and I hope we can somehow collaborate in the very near future.
“Because I would rather move away from the individuals, speak about the variables in Nigeria politics. The variables is that most of us refer to them as opposition.
“Peter Obi and Atiku are not opposition, but mere office seekers. Opposition is active, actually technically taking on the mis-ruling government every action. You come out not only when it is time to seek particular office.
“Left to me, right from 2023, Peter Obi and everybody else should have continued that tempo I started about constitutional breach,” he said.
