NDC calls Datti Baba-Ahmed a 'bitter ex' amid 2027 election tensions

On September 7, 2026, NDC Director of New Media Theo Abu Agada labelled former LP presidential running mate Datti Baba-Ahmed a 'bitter ex' after Datti claimed that Peter Obi and other 2027 presidential aspirants cannot improve Nigeria and urged President Bola Tinubu to step aside rather than hand power to any rival. Agada’s comment came amid Datti’s earlier warning to Obi against leaving the Labour Party for the African Democratic Congress, a move Obi later made before joining the NDC and securing its presidential ticket with Rabiu Kwankwaso as running mate. The exchange highlights growing friction within Nigeria’s opposition as parties jostle for the 2027 presidency, raising questions about whether a united front can emerge to challenge the incumbent administration. For voters watching the political landscape, this feud signals potential fragmentation that could affect election outcomes and policy direction.
