Datti is trending because the former Vice Presidential candidate has now reconciled with Abure’s faction of LP, and declared interest for Presidency in 2027.
Contrary to rumors that he disowned Peter Obi., Yesterday Datti Baba-Ahmed met with Julius Abure, and distanced himself from the ADC coalition.
Stating that, it would likely be another APC, because a coalition produced APC, and almost same set of politicians are in ADC, so there is a slim chance of the end result being different.
He clarified that, himself and Obi are in good terms. As it is easier to crack APC than to crack their relationship.
Apparently, Datti has made peace with Julius Abure faction of APC, and according to Abure he has also declared for 2027. Abure insists they are not a faction.
Datti failed to rule out Peter Obi’s return to the party. As he was also unsure who would get the ticket in ADC.
Political analysts are suggesting that, this is the end of the road for Obi.
Because the ADC ticket is more likely to be given to Atiku, and LP will likely give theirs to Datti. Leaving Obi stranded with PDP and Wike being his last option, inherently guaranteeing BAT 2031.
However, Obidients believe Obi is finally playing politics and now has his foot in ADC, LP and PDP, with the full Obidient force behind him.
