Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party's vice-presidential candidate in the 2023 election, believes that the leading candidates for the 2027 presidential race are not capable of taking Nigeria forward. Speaking on the MicOn Podcast, Baba-Ahmed, who was Peter Obi's running mate in 2023, urged President Bola Tinubu to step down and let someone else take over, claiming none of the contenders would improve the country.

Baba-Ahmed argued that these politicians had all been involved in bedfellows at some point, including Peter Obi. He advocated for a new Nigeria and highlighted his political record, emphasizing he had never been part of a ruling party. Baba-Ahmed also questioned Atiku Abubakar's criticism of Tinubu over his US records, noting Atiku's silence on the issue in the past.

He accused Tinubu of weakening Nigeria's political parties and destroying the country's political structures during his three-year administration.
