Baring any last-minute changes, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi will on Thursday unveil his Vice-Presidential candidate. He is Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.
Baba-Ahmed who hails from Kano in Nigeria’s North West, is a 46 year old academician, businessman and politician. He was a member of the House of Representatives between 2003 and 2007, and was elected Senator for Kaduna North, in Kaduna State, Nigeria, in April 2011 on the ticket of the Congress for Progressive Change.

He was a member of the Peoples Democracy Party and one of the presidential aspirants until last May when, like Peter Obi, he withdrew from the contest before the party’s national convention.

After his nomination as the Labour Party candidate, Obi had submitted the name of his Campaign DG, Dr. Doyin Okupe as his VP placeholder.
Baba-Ahmed has four degrees; a BSc and MSc in Economics from University of Maiduguri, a MBA from University of Wales, Cardiff and in 2006, he successfully completed his PhD studies, earning the title of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Westminster.

After his service year at University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Ogun state, he worked as Projects Co-ordinator, Baze Research and Data Services Ltd. and as Officer II in the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company, Lagos.
He worked as a Banking Officer, First Bank of Nigeria Plc from July 1997 to Dec 1998 and then came back to become the Managing Director of Baze Research and Data Services Ltd in July 1999 – January 2003, before venturing into politics.

In 2011, Sen. Baba-Ahmed established Baze University, an independent University located in Abuja, Nigeria.

In 2015, Sen. Yusuf Baba-Ahmed was appointed as Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Hope Alive Foundation – which campaigns for post-service economic survival of corps members who suffered permanent disability during service.

Sen. Baba-Ahmed is currently Pro-Chancellor of Baze University, Managing Director, Baze Research & Data Service Ltd and Chairman, Baze Construction Ltd.

His companies employ a total of over 1000 people including expatriates, and highly skilled professional Nigerians from the Diaspora.

Wow Good hands are really upon obi

Obi is a fucccking genius, brilliant chess move by him...he went for a young, educated and refined Northerner from the North west who has served in the senate as well...meanwhile APC are still gallivanting on choosing a running mate, right any person they pick will be an owngoal for Tinubu...Zulum is the best they can go for but is Zulum popular enough in the North to pull the strings for Tinubu?

Is datti popular enough to pull the strings for Obi? That's what you should be bothered about. Datti can't win his LGA in kaduna north.

Can you win yours?

You guys always know who can win what ?

Datti a refined gentleman but there's nothing he can do for Obi in the north. He'll be consumed in the north by the pdp, Apc and kwankwansiya gladiators. Even in his hometown in kaduna he'll be flogged mercilessly.

Datti na cool guy, but we all know that apc and pdp will swallow him in the north. Male we no fool ourselves #TRUTHHURTS.

Two gentleman as president and vice, I don't think it can work in Nigeria we need rogues like wike, El-rufai or Fayose

Fantastic move by Peter Obi. God's hand is upon Peter Obi candidacy.
At 46, the young man has achieved alot.
God bless Peter Obi
God bless OBIdient people
Vote for LabourParty

Good one

An intellectual ✔

Our incoming VP and next president

Even his brother will be thrashed in his own LGA too.

Only an emotional political neophyte like you wouldn't know.

Getting Baba Ahmed on board will automatically tilt Northern Elders Forum to LP.

The Baba Ahmed family is one of most popular family in Kaduna in Islamic jurisprudence.

His brother is the spoke person for Northern Elders Forum.

Our incoming VP was a strong PDP member in Kaduna and wanted to contest for governor in 2023.

He dumped PDP for LP and shelved his ambition to contest for for governor.

He is an employer of Labour, an academia and our incoming VP.

Obi/Ahmed is formidable.

Read about the Baba-Ahmed family and stop wailing.

With Ahmed on ballot, we will get a lot of moderate moslems on board.

Obi is sure of winning Christian votes in Kaduna and with Ahmed, Kaduna is in the pocket.



With LP picking its VP from Kaduna, APC will be forced to look somewhere else outside Kaduna.

The Northerners already love him. And they have been speaking glowingly of him.



If he eventually emerges as Peter Obi's running mate, then it's a done deal.


The election will be a walkover for Labour party. Nigerians deserve good governance abeg! See refined gentlemen na.

Not drug smugglers and convicted money launderers . Tufiakwa!

Kwakwaso should go and sit down somewhere feeling like he's a SuperStar.. I like his personality but his recent outburst no make me reason am again. Wishing him all the luck anyways.

Yes. Kaduna is dusted.

Baba-Ahmed beat Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna and one of the most loved governors in Kaduna to become Senator.

He owns the biggest Private hospital in Africa, Baze University Hospital.

He is also the founder of the newly built Baba Ahmed University, Kano.

He has 30 siblings who are all powerful in Nigeria..

His father was a known figure in the Zaria emirate council, and served under two emirs.

He had the endorsement of NEF to contest with Obi. This explains why the Forum appears pro-Obi in recent times.

Most importantly, he is OBIdient.

He dumped PDP few weeks OBI left.

The man finished buhari when he was interviewed in Channel TV that buhari talking about corruption without knowing what corruption is. He outlined the 7corrupt activities in Nigeria.

The man will make good combo with Peter obi

I was surprised with NEF recent pro-Obi stances. I didn't know something was cooking.

Baba Ahmed defeated Makarfi, former governor of Kaduna and former PDP national Chairman to win the senate.

Don't forget, Makarfi is the most loved Governor in the history of Kaduna.

I don't believe Obi would be able to pull off the Baba Ahmed collabo. He even contested against Atiku during the PDP presidential election in 2018

Interesting days ahead to sell your quality & that of your vice to Nigeria..

May God help all Nigerian to make a good decision that will make Nigeria a beacon to the national of the world

Una too dey argue emotionally. Una go cry oooooo.

Datti is a nobody in kaduna politics. He was only a beneficiary of the buhari's CPC phenomena in the north in 2011 where himself and mohammed saleh won kaduna north and central senatorial districts respectively by using buhari's influence. That's the only election he has won in his life. Since he has been in the pdp what electoral feat has he achieved in kaduna? He only recently withdrew from the governorship race in kaduna obviously sensing a humiliating defeat in the pdp primary.

Even your Peter Obi can't dare say he'll win kaduna. You must be an enthusiastic political infant to say kaduna is in the pocket for Peter Obi. Mtcheeew......u tink say na ur village head election be dis?
