The 2023 vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has identified Hakeem Baba-Ahmed of the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) as a key political figure who could pose a strong challenge to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.

Datti made the remarks on Tuesday during an appearance on Politics Today.

According to him, many people have underestimated Hakeem Baba-Ahmed despite his experience and political influence.

“If there is anything that is a threat to Tinubu 2027, it is Dr Hakeem and PRP,” he said. “People don’t know him. They have underestimated him. He means business.”

Datti further highlighted Baba-Ahmed’s background, describing him as an experienced public servant and intellectual with years of service.

“He rose through the ranks, all the records are there. He is not there for money. He means what he is doing,” he said.

He also criticised the APC, stating that the party misjudged Baba-Ahmed.

“APC made a very bad mistake. They don’t know who Hakeem is,” he said.
