Peter's Obi Running Mate,Baba-Ahmed Under Fire Over Muslim, Northerner Comment by LIVE08(op): 11:09am On Jul 13, 2022
Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the running mate of Peter Obi, candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, has come under serious attack in Zamfara State over his comment that he won’t like to be called a Muslim or northerner.

According to one Yusuf Abubakar, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed is not proud of his religion and tribe, saying that for him to warn that he won’t accept to be referred to as a Muslim or northerner means he is ungrateful to the Almighty.

“If he has publicly said that he does not support tribalism, then nobody would comment on that because tribalism can destroy the entire country,
” he added.

Another person who granted an interview to DAILY POST, Babangida Ahmed, said that Baba-Ahmed has destroyed his political career in the north, saying that with such utterances, northerners may not cast their votes for Labour Party in 2023.

According to him, Obi is proud to be a Catholic even with the verbal attacks of Rev. Mbaka. Obi openly stated that he remains loyal to the Church and he has never disowned his identity as an Igbo man.

“Does this mean some of us are not comfortable or feel ashamed to be associated with our blessed religion of Islam or our noble background as people from Northern Nigeria?


“I hope he was misquoted out of context, otherwise he better look for supporters elsewhere,” he said.

Recall that the embattled Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate recently granted an interview to BBC News where he allegedly made the comments.

Re: Peter's Obi Running Mate,Baba-Ahmed Under Fire Over Muslim, Northerner Comment by WibusJaga:
huh
But that's a statement of a great leader especially in a secular state as Nigeria. Just like Buhari initially said "I Belong to Everybody & I Belong to Nobody" though Buhari never lived up to that his statement.

Pls every Muslim & non-Muslim should reject that APC's unholy Muslim-Muslim ticket. Its a subtle way of announcing to the world that Nigeria has been subdued by Islam. It's not fair to non-Muslims. The country equally belongs to us all.

These brain-washed fanatics are at it again! What the man was invariably saying is that he shouldn't be seen as a muslim or a northern VP; instead Nigerians should see him as a Nigerian VP and not northern or muslim VP.

I very proud of my faith and tribe but I don’t want to be seen from that angle alone. I am a Nigerian and hopefully, one day a man from Sokoto can be received with open arms in Anambra and allowed to win political offices there without suspicion.

You simply misconstrue & perhaps misunderstood Mr. Yusuf Datti Ahmed Baba's position.
Did he ever said, he was not a believer of Islam or not loyal to Islamhuh Of course no, his position is that, he does not want to be seen as belonging or representing the interest of a particular tribe or religion in the the Nigerian Project as detribalise Nigerian.
Whether you vote for him or not, will not change the fact that, Mr.Datti Ahmed is a self made individual & can afford to live comfortably well, all his life. He is out to render service and not to amass wealth, so if you said, you can't vote for him, sooth yourself & let see who blink first when shove come to push,
