Popular politician, Femi Fani-Kayode has slammed the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi for claiming that he won the election.

You may recall that the politician had broken silence after losing the presidential bid to the APC candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Peter Obi declared that he would be taking the matter to court since he believes that he won the election.

Datti was fiery as he spoke to the crowd of supporters who gathered at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Lagos Island. He exclaimed, “PDAPC dey craze” while addressing the enthusiastic crowd. The rally was attended by important figures such as the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, National Chairman Julius Abure, the Director General of the Obi/Datti campaign council, Prof Akin Osuntokun, Afenifere leader Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and others. Datti, known for his calm demeanour, was fueled by the energy of the crowd as he used a phrase from one of Nigeria’s musical legends, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, in pidgin English to emphasize his points.

“Fela talk say dem dash us democracy, dem teach us dem go, no be so?,” Datti asked the crowd of supporters. He went on to say that being a democratic nation does not mean that citizens in Nigeria are unaware of their rights. Datti’s words: “The fact say we get democracy no mean say we craze. Whoever thinks say we craze, na hin craze. PDAPC na dem craze. “Anybody wey come stand in front of you talk say dey improve the security of Nigeria, wetin happen to that person, tell dem dey craze….” The Vice Presidential candidate emphasized their plan, to guide Nigeria towards greatness and pointed out that the Labour Party has brought the nation together, ending previous conflicts among the population. Datti’s words: “Only Obi and my humble self are ready to lead Nigeria to greatness. Fellow Nigerians, Nigeria is that great country on the surface of the earth that bad governance has denied progress and we have to change it. ‘Labour Party is that party that has stopped Nigerians from fighting themselves and has united Nigerians.”

Datti revealed that he would have been “a lot happier” if his critics had stopped at him alone. According to him, the insults have been hurled at him and his family members because he has done a lot to combat false narratives about him and the party’s standard bearer, Peter Obi.
He said;
“When I joined the ticket, I impeached certain lies against him and I saw they were heading towards that. Particularly my good friend on the APC side, on the same level.
“When people think they have money, they have power, and the sitting authority is theirs, there’s no limit. Someone has to tap them on the shoulder. I did it and I pointed a finger. You do it again – do one, I’ll do three. You know I’m capable of doing it.

“They’ve stopped. However, me and my family have been paying a huge price for my attempts to rescue Nigeria. They sent all sorts of people after me.
“But the thing that I was able to sort [out] with the [opposing] presidential and vice presidential candidate, I ended up suffering on a much lesser level.
“Thirty-five years ago, at least, our dad of blessed memory passed away. No one ever insulted him until I joined elections for presidency. This is not fair. It doesn’t happen anywhere in the world.
“You don’t insult people’s parents or their families. It’s a huge price for anyone to pay.”

Baba-Ahmed then fought back tears before momentarily excusing himself to step out of the hall, presumably to regain his composure.
He soon after returned to his seat to carry on with discussions of his and his principal’s plans.

“If it is true that Datti Baba is Obi’s VP, then this is a social media presidency”

Popular activist, Deji Adeyanju has expressed disappointment following reports that Datti Baba Ahmed is set to become the running mate of Peter Obi.
Recall that news about Labour Party flagbearer nominating Ahmed as a running mate broke out lately which stirred reactions and debates about his decision.

Taking to social media, Deji Adeyanju who seemingly doesn’t agree with Peter Obi on this claimed that peradventure this becomes a reality, then the former Anambra Governor’s quest to become Nigeria’s president will end on social media alone.
He further asked why Peter Obi didn’t consider picking any of the former Northern governors.
Adeyanju in a bid to draw the line between social media and reality made reference to Shehu Sani who has over 2.6M followers on Twitter but ended up with only two votes during the PDP primaries.
He wrote:
“If it is true that Datti Baba Ahmed is Obi’s VP, then i’m sure this is a social media presidency. This ticket reminds me of Shehu Sani who has 2.6m followers on Twitter but scored 2 votes at PDP primaries. Of all the jobless former Governors in the North, Obi couldn’t find any.”
