The 2023 Labour Party (LP) Vice-Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has revealed how late former President, Muhammadu Buhari, threatened him and residents of Kaduna State.

Naijaonpoint reports that Baba-Ahmed made this known on Tuesday, while speaking on insecurity in the country on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.

Recalling when he contested election in 2011 alongside the late Buhari, Baba-Ahmed quoted the former president as saying, “you [will all be] soaked in blood. Kaduna is my state. There was serious violence in Kaduna. Many houses were burnt.”

According to the Labour Party chieftain, the desperation to remove former President, Goodluck Jonathan, in 2015 led to the insecurity ravaging Nigeria today.

Baba-Ahmed stressed that foreigners were brought in from neighbouring countries to remove Jonathan.

He said, “I contested with the late former president Muhammadu Buhari in 2011. But ever since he made a security threat comment, I refused to go out with him.

“It didn’t matter if I lost the Senate seat, but I won it eventually. Buhari said, you [will all be] soaked in blood. Kaduna is my state. There was serious violence in Kaduna. Many houses were burnt.

“They went and brought people from neighbouring countries in readiness to remove Jonathan.”
