2023 Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, says he is set to abandon the Labour Party and defect to the Peoples Redemption Party.
Datti Baba-Ahmed stated this on Tuesday while featuring on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.
He hinged his decision to internal disagreements within the Labour Party, which he said has drifted from its original ideals.
Baba-Ahmed said, “I am leaving the Labour Party tomorrow (Wednesday). There is more to it. When there was real peace in the Labour Party, was when they posted back.
“They redeployed someone with a specific purpose, and because of the antecedent of the individual to make life difficult, particularly for me. What the Labour Party stood for then is no longer what it is Today.”
He said his exit from the LP would take effect at midnight, stressing that his next political destination is the PRP.
“I am leaving the Labour Party at midnight, and I am joining PRP. PRP is the new destination. PRP is the one with a history. It’s about 75 years old,” Baba-Ahmed added.
