The Labour Party presidential candidate, PETER OBI, has unveiled his running mate, DATTI BABA-AHMED.

Senator DATTI BABA-AHMED, the founder of Baze University, Abuja, was announced as the LP vice-presidential candidate in Abuja on Friday.

The 46-year-old was a former lawmaker who represented Kaduna North   Senatorial district.

BABA-AHMED’S announcement was coming barely 24 hours after the Director-General, Peter Obi Campaign Organization, DOYIN OKUPE, announced his withdrawal as the vice-presidential candidate of the party.

OKUPE who announced his withdrawal via his verified Twitter handle noted that his party would announce the new running mate to the presidential candidate.

National chairman of the party, Barrister JULIUS ABURE, said the unveiling of the vice-presidential candidate, which was initially slated for Thursday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, was  postponed because PETER OBI traveled to Maiduguri and was expected back in Abuja Thursday afternoon.
