Meet Peter Obi's VP: Yusuf Datti Baba-ahmed by ottersberger(m): 9:35am On Jul 06, 2022
You read it here first.

Peter Obi will announce his VP candidate in a short while. I can reveal that the man is a worthy Nigerian, a national activist and a man younger than Peter Obi, one of the many criteria he set for this position.

The man is Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.
Fellow Obidients, the Kwankwaso arrogant blackmail is behind us and we have since moved on.

Who is this man?.

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is a Nigerian economist and politician. He was a Senator and founder of Baze University Abuja and Baba-Ahmed University Kano (Awaiting License). He is the founder and Pro-chancellor of Baze University Abuja, where the Baze University Hospital is said to be the biggest private hospital in Africa.

His anti-corruption activism drew him into politics, where he served as a Representative for Zaria Federal Constituency from 2003 to 2007 and Senator for Kaduna North from 2011 to 2012.

Baba-Ahmed has a BSc and MSc in economics from the University of Maiduguri in Borno State. He worked in the security Printing and Minting, Lagos, before entering politics.

In 2006, while a Federal representative, he earned the title of Doctor of Philosophy when he completed his Ph.D. studies at the University of Westminster.

Baba-Ahmed was elected in April 2003 to the Federal House of Representatives for the Zaria Federal Constituency, Kaduna State. He ran on the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) platform.

Baba-Ahmed was popular for his principled activism. During the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, he was among lawmakers who opposed letting Obasanjo run for a third term. In May 2006, he said he would not run for reelection unless action was taken to investigate allegations that members had been bribed to support the constitutional changes needed for a third-term presidency.

In 2007, he took the Independent National Electoral Commission to court over the conduct of past elections. He was known for speaking out against corruption.

Speaking at an Islamic media forum in Abuja in September 2008, Baba-Ahmed called on journalists to fearlessly submit accurate reports. He said that corruption in the country is endemic, and special prayers and determination from all stakeholders are needed to correct the situation. Baba-Ahmed became the Managing Director of Baze Research and Data Services Ltd.

Baba-Ahmed was the founder and Pro-Chancellor of Baze University, an independent university in Abuja, which opened in April 2011. Citing his studies abroad as a benchmark, he said that the Nigerian educational system was "appalling" and that this inspired him to start Baze University.

Is he any different from other fulanis? Is his head not full of religious sentiments? What is his take on sharia laws in 12 northern states? What did he say when a Christian student woman was stoned to death by religious fanatics of his faith? What's his views about blasphemy? What's his take and views on the banning of alcohol in northern states? And why mustPeter Obi's vice be a fulani? Are there no Hausa, Birom, Angas, or any other ethnic group muslims in the the north?

All these Peter Obi/Igbo predident, one nigeria fools aren't asking any question. Why must fulanis after al lthe problems they have created be in any party's presidential or vice ticket? Can any other ethnic group do what these migrant mofos did and still get away with it without the yoruba lagos/ibadan express way gutter/brown paper journalists assisiting in bringing them down? But when it comes to fulani, all of then goes mute as if nothing has happened.

igbos could have easily lined up behind Atiku like yorubas lined up behind Buhari to take the presidency to North. But no, they decided to come out and throw their hats in the ring ...to test their popularity and to offer Nigeria an opportunity to try an Igbo president....but you just dey laugh.

Do you see why they call yorubas betrayers?

And you think he defeated the so called Markafi because of the vote of the people for him? Some of you are really daft and totally dumb. When we think you digged just 6 feet, you are proven to have digged further.

Did Ojukwu as popular as he was win senatorial election? Kwankwaso as popular as he is in Kano, got his candidate to win Kano governorship election, but they robbed him off and gave the winning to Ganduje. Atiku/Obi won 2019 election which we all know, but who is yur president today?

Jonathan won the 2019 election, was Buhari not declared the winner? When have your PVC ever worked in the dungeon you are dying to participate in it's election? Why this daft and dumb state that all you fools have chosen to remain? Tufiakwa!!

After all the rantings you still didn't proffer any solution. What do you want us to do now? We should all not bother voting at all and allow APC to do as they like or we should all leave Nigeria?

Mugu, the solution is dismantling the dungeon called nigeria, and that's why you should support the actualization of Biafra. You can't see all the above reasons, plus other factual reasons bothering on insecurity, islamization, fulanization, fraudulent constitution, qouta system, others chosing your governors from Abuja, killing your economy to make you a beggar, not allowing airports and seaports to function in your region, one sided federal schools and university entrance mark, ramdom killing of our people in the north with some clumsy excuses, burning of our people goods and properties in the north and sometimes in SW, systematic one sided recruiting of more northerners in all the armed forces of the dungeon, et all and still rooting to vote in a system that can never ever allow your vote to count.

Answer the below question before talking like onye egbiwara isi. Some of you are really naive and dumb at the same time. Who and you are doing "nigerians" ?
Didn't you see the INEC registred PVC numbers that came about about a week ago? Did it reflect what we have seen so far on the ground? Haven't you listened to Kwanwaso and Galadima about their perception of Igbos? What other evidence are you looking for to know that all these Peter Obi's noise is just a waste of time.?

They are good to go. No more endemic theives in Nigerian government. Enough of APC and PDP suffering Nigerians. Enough is enough. Look at Algeria. Algeria is now far better than nigeria. Imagine. Cost of living is terribly in Nigeria and insecurity in highest level. Imagine a federal prison in federal capital where all the security agencies are located got bombed. And some idoits want to continue living in such country. Why can't you work to make your look like Canada or UK?. Peter Obi is the only redemption now in Nigeria.
