Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, who ran as Vice President under Peter Obi in the 2023 election, has dismissed all major presidential candidates challenging Bola Tinubu in 2027 as incapable of improving Nigeria. Baba-Ahmed included Obi in the list of candidates he believes cannot make a difference. He advised Tinubu to prepare to hand over power at the end of his tenure, but not to any of the current challengers.
Baba-Ahmed, who is now part of the Peoples Redemption Party, cited Obi's past affiliations with the PDP and his recent move to the African Democratic Congress as reasons for his dismissal. He expressed surprise that Obi had left the ADC after initially joining it, stating that he had warned Obi against the move.
