The Labour Party vice presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has denied reports that he declared his intention to join the presidential race in 2027.
Baba-Ahmed, who spoke in an interview on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Friday, stated that he only clarified his membership in the LP.
However, he added that contesting for president in 2027 could be a possibility.
“I never declared to contest the presidency, even though there could be a possibility of that happening. I certainly did not declare for the presidency. I simply reiterated my membership of the Labour Party.
“That is all, and in the submissions I made, I clearly stated that one will have to wait for the INEC timetable and for the party to make the call for people to indicate their interest,” Baba-Ahmed said.
