The Labour Party (LP) 2023 vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has stated that defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections requires red eye and not court action.
Naijaonpoint reports that the Kaduna-born politician made this known during an interview with ‘Nigeria Right Now’, which was shared on 𝕏.
While criticising Nigeria’s electoral and judicial systems, Baba-Ahmed claimed that the Constitution was breached during the 2023 presidential election.
Citing the June 12 struggle, Baba-Ahmed said political actors in the past aggressively defended their interests and mobilised Nigerians over long periods to challenge perceived injustice.
The LP chieftain maintained that any opposition politician seeking to unseat Tinubu must be prepared to confront the system decisively.
He said, “I told Peter Obi, the Supreme Court cannot give you governor and give you presidency. For God’s sake, stand up and do something. The Nigerian Constitution was clearly breached. Like if it was June 12 people you d not just breach the constitution, breach one punctuation in their interest, I swear nobody will sleep. They fought for their interest, organised rallies.
“Let me say this, you must show your red eyes if you’re going to defeat Tinubu, because on that day that they are declaring the result, the people declaring a fake result are criminals, and those who are stopping the declaration of fake results are good citizens.”
