Yusuf Datti Ahmed, the Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate in the general election of 2023, has hinted that the alliance opposing President Bola Tinubu’s administration may not last till the very end.

The wealthy businessman questioned what would happen to the coalition if leaders like Chibuike Amaechi or Peter Obi were unable to win the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) only ticket.

The vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party stated on Arise News that although there is a lot of enthusiasm for the coalition, “I think we should not be swept away by this coalition.

“You have key players, Peter Obi, I will call him first, Amaechi, Atiku and maybe Nasir El-Rufai, and they’ve come together from diverse backgrounds with a variety of interests.

“And out of these three, you can imagine that Atiku, Obi and Amaechi, clearly are front runners in this it makes me think, how will the contest be? That’s a good point, because they are very close in the race, very, very close in the race.

“What will the aftermath of this contest be? That’s why I made the analogy and the example with the Buhari case, who was a distant outlier in the very distant from the park.

“All these three are very close together. Now, if one wins, will two others still remain in the coalition?”

The coalition, which has chosen the ADC as its platform to run for president in 2027, is led by former senator David Mark, former governor of Rivers State Chibuike Amaechi, former governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, former vice president Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and others.
