2027: I never declared for presidency – Peter Obi’s ex-running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed
Datti Baba-Ahmed, former running mate of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has dismissed claims that he had declared for the presidency in 2027.
He made this clarification known in an interview on Channels Television on Friday.
This comes as claims emerged two days ago that Baba-Ahmed had declared to run for presidency in 2027.
Reacting, Baba-Ahmed said he did not declare for presidency; rather, he only reiterated his membership in the Labour Party.
“I never declared to contest for presidency; I simply reiterated my membership in the Labour Party. Even though there could be a possibility for that happening.
“I clearly stated that one will have to wait for the Independent National Electoral Commission timetable and the party to make the call,” he said.

Senator Ogoshi Onawo dumps ADC, over alleged internal crisis, endless legal battles
Lawmaker representing the Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Senator Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo, has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
His resignation was contained in a letter dated July 2, 2026, and addressed to the ADC Ward Chairman in Galadimawa Ward, Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The lawmaker attributed his decision to the party’s lingering internal crisis and protracted legal disputes at the national level.
In the letter sighted on Sunday by our correspondent, Onawo said his resignation takes effect from June 15, 2026.
The lawmaker said the persistent internal wrangling and legal battles within the party made it difficult for him to pursue the developmental mandate entrusted to him by the electorate.
“It is driven by my firm belief that the prevailing circumstances within the current party structure and the endless legal battles it is currently embroiled in no longer provide the cohesion, support, and enabling environment for me to focus squarely on effectively representing my constituents and to fully realise the developmental and progressive mandate they entrusted to me,” he said.
