2023 Elections: We Have Won Lagos, Irrespective Of Tinubu, Says Baba-Ahmed

With the presidential election barely less than 96 hours away, the vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, is confident of victory in Lagos State, the state with the highest number of registered voters.

With over seven million eligible voters, Lagos bests runner-up Kano State’s 5.9 million registered voters.

Giving his predictions of the outcome of the poll, Baba-Ahmed did not hesitate to downplay the influence of former Lagos governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu.

“By the grace of God, we have won Lagos, irrespective of Tinubu there. Are they going to come out and spread the people who are voting?” the entrepreneur asked during a live appearance on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict on Tuesday.

While admitting Kaduna is an “APC state”, he said it falls under “our category”, which according to him is a simple win. “Kaduna is category A in the whole of the North-West,” he added.


Asked about states he sees as an uphill battle, Baba-Ahmed said, “Yobe [and] Zamfara, of course. Those are two good friends.”

The former senator rejected the notion that winning the election is a long shot.

“It is logical. Many things that have never happened before in Nigeria are happening now with Labour Party. We’re the only three – party chairman, candidate, vice – born after independence.


“I’m losing modesty here. He’s a correct degree earner, which others cannot show you. I know Kwankwaso says he has a PhD; I don’t boast about a PhD or two master’s degrees.

“The 2023 elections, by the special grace of almighty Allah who gives power, is as good as won by Labour Party because of the mistakes others have made,” he said.

Imagine what's coming out from the mouth of a supposed VP....anyways , he has to speak for his party even when he knows it's a blatant lie

LP is counting on Kaduna in the NW and Taraba in the NE, that's all!

He's right about Lagos though.

Peter Obi all the way

Shouldn't Datti be delivering his own Northern zone for Obi first?
Deliver Kaduna and Kano for Obi

socialmediaman:
LP is counting on Kaduna in the NW and Taraba in the NE, that's all!

Peter Obi all the way

You better talk about Alaba market.

Wishful thinking

We all know that. If Tinubu gets up to 12K votes in Lagos, it'd be a miracle. Obi will get 10M votes in Lagos and 15M in Kano.

Buckeyemedia1:
Impossible for Obi to even win 1 Local Government Area in Lagos State?
Only an Ipobian hustling in Onitsha reasons like you.

lomodele:
who are the 'We'? Perhaps it's in your dreams that Tinubu will get 12k votes in Lagos and Obi 10M votes in Lagos and 15M vote in Kano. The way u guys talk at times is funny

Stop quoting me if you can't detect a literal sarcasm or pretending like you can't see it's one.

Noted

I vote Peter Obi

By Sunday him eye go clear

Softmirror:
PETER OBI CAN NEVER EVER WIN.

Console yourself

You'll need it

This man will win this thing, I'm telling you, you're busy trying the convince yourself.

Tinubu can only win if he finds a way to buy 7 million votes to add to his normal votes. I doubt that would be enough but that's the minimum....if he wants to win he has to buy that amount of votes

When Obi contested for governor of Anambra nobody knew him, people where still asking who is Obi when he became governor...same will happen in Nigeria

Obi has won all states in the south east and SS, he will come a close second in the South West, he will win north central, he will do decently in North East and N west, other candidates will share the north and Peter obi already has 2 states in the south where he will win with large margin.

If you like believe if you like keep on decieving yourselves. I just want to make sure it doesn't come as a shock

Softmirror:




MARK MY WORDS. PETER OBI WILL LOSE. THE MAN IS A FAILURE. HE WILL END UP RUNNING AWAY FROM LABOUR PARTY AFTER HE LOSES.

Those that are campaigning for tinubu are afraid of Obi, you that has just one vote you are forming jagaban.

You will join your people in oduduwa agitation after this election.

You think you are wiser than the private organizations that predicted Obi's victory?

Don't worry una eyes go clear

Lol...🤣🤣

Datti your polling unit result will be here on nairaland.

kk2027:
Where will Tinubu's vote come from exactly?

My people please dont let us waste our votes

Lets vote for a new Nigeria that works for everyone

I stand with Afenifere

Afenifere kill u there

The next president of Nigeria will shock a lot of people.

ImmaculateJOE:

Plus Adamawa in NE..

Highest on Monday.. Adamwa result go show..

You want to beat Atiku in Adamawa?


Change your weed supplier

Obidients, obi and Ipob/esn has infected this Datti with lie infections, I am only happy as he puts God clutch for self-caution. You lied because of obi, obidients and Ipob so they will not roast you. Imagine if he just say, LP wont win Lagos; obidients will bury him with insult

RenaissanceGuy:
We all know that. If Tinubu gets up to 12K votes in Lagos, it'd be a miracle. Obi will get 10M votes in Lagos and 15M in Kano.

I wonder wetin una Dey smoke

Mfetenang:
Shouldn't Datti be delivering his own Northern zone for Obi first?
Deliver Kaduna and Kano for Obi

Which Datti want to win Kaduna and Kano.

Stop typing after taking mkporu mirri

You are not sure of winning in the north where you come from but you think you can defeat your principal opponent on his turf. I'm sure Obi secretly does not like this dull man who can hardly articulate his opinions sensibly.

MissLeslie:



Afenifere kill u there

My family and I stand with Afenifere

Cry more

UKPONG CHUWANG DANIEL, SENATORIAL CANDIDATE OF APGA CROSS RIVER STATE GOT ATTACKED BY THUGS OF THE DYING APC ON SUNDAY 19TH FEBRUARY and ALL THE DPO OF ATAKPA DIVISION CARED ABOUT IS HOW HE WASN'T VISITED BY THE APGA SINCE INCEPTION CAMPAIGN AS DONE BY OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES.

APC's Thugs attacked the Senatorial Candidate of APGA, His Municipality & Akpabuyo Coordinators amongst others and the DPO of the Division with jurisdiction to handle the matter said he was not aware of any APGA'S Candidate as he was not visited since inception of Campaign but Commissioner and other ranks were visited. So, he directed that we file our complain at the desk and walked away saying the Candidate should book appointment to see him and do the right thing if he wants him to know of his Candidature. This he did despite being told the Area Commandant send us to him and needs to speak with him.

The Narrative:
The Team of 7 women and two young boys went out to cheer people up about Saturday's upcoming National Assembly elections. Amongst them are the Coordinators of Akpabuyo and Municipality Local Government Areas. It was in that train that the Thugs of APC attacked them physically and assaulted the Coordinator of Municipality (Mrs Doris) who was peacefully sharing her thoughts of the visions her Candidate has which is Opening Up Cross River State with Highways and Bridges into the Capital City to stop the cancer of one way in one way out of that held sway the supposed development of the State.

Her audience listened with enthusiasm as they became excited and proud to have such a Thirty Five(35) year old man of Vision contesting for a Seat in Cross River State to represent them at the National which to them will end the poor State of things in the State.

Little did she know the APC thugs standing by felt inferior about no plans nor manifesto of their Candidate to match with what comes out from this young mother of four who passionately expresses her joy about how her expectations of a better and fruitful City Cross River South will turn into.

Their gross inferiority led to their assaulting her, squeezing her hands and punching her. They dragged off a wrap of stickers (over 500pcs) from which she was sharing to drivers for their cars and buses as she share the plans and promises of her Principal whom they kept shouting his Name as their Senatorial Candidate and the only one to paste stickers in Calabar. In the process, the Coordinator of Akpabuyo, Miss Veronica in an attempt to help rescue Mrs Doris from their Hands was pushed and dislocated her left food. While on the floor, they threw stones at her in attempt to get her more wounded.

As it were, the APGA Senatorial Candidate (Mr Ukpong Chuwang Daniel) was at GTBank's Compound in the Neighborhood of the incident waiting for his turn to use the ATM amidst the sufferings of Nigerians in these days of Currency Swap.
Mrs Doris who knowing she saw him before leading her Team in the company of her friend the coordinator of Akpabuyo ran to him for help as they almost injured her. Ukpong felt is was a mild matter, hence going to make Peace and calm the situation. That was when a mob of prison break faces with stones and sticks came forth attacking him and hitting him with their stones asking he leave their State alone and take his lofty plans out of the State as they are okay with their Senatorial Candidate (Asuquo Ekpenyong and his no personal plan other than support the Guber Candidate of his party.

They chanted "...go away, leave our one way in one way out for us, we are okay with our Candidate. Don't come here telling us you will make us like Dubai & Singapore. We are okay with our Candidate who's only dream is to support Prince Bassey...".

When they began throwing stones at the Senatorial Candidate of APGA, people around and passersby pushed him away protecting him. A call was made to the Area Commandant of Nigerian Police Force Akim Area Command who directed the Candidate to report at the ATAKPA DIVISION Calabar South. On getting there, the DPO took over 25mins before coming out to attend to the Candidate.
Without waiting for him to finish explaining the incident, the DPO said he has no Knowledge of APGA having a Candidate as he was never visited nor was a relationship built with him by the Candidate. He said other Parties were in his office to built partnership which makes him serve them by a simple phone call but APGA went to the Commissioner and Other higher ranks only to remember him when they have problem needing his security men. Then he walked away asking the Candidate to file a complain it will be looked into. But to inform him of APGA having a Candidate, an appointment can be booked and the candidate should go do the right thing but not to use situation to inform him of his Candidature as other Parties did.

On the issue of APC, the Candidate for Peace, before heading to the Police Station called the Senatorial Candidate of APC and it's State Secretary to kindly educate the remaining followers & supporters of the dying party to kindly conduct themselves as civil as possible so that they could at least be received into other Parties after theirs lack face in the Nation.

But the Candidate didn't respond except for the State's Secretary who said he was out of Town and can't assure reaching anyone from where he is.
If APC and it's Candidates have anything to offer Nigeria and Nigerians, they should kindly dialogue it out and let the people weigh their words with actions. Attacking people or having low minds who despite all the failure of the party still go about thuggery as sign of loyalty as has become cancerous of Lagos State is but a clear sign of being defeated by their track record which is but a pity.

The Area Commandant was called but his contact wasn't connecting as of time of filing this.

The Nigerian Police Force should kindly caution the DPO of ATAKPA DIVISION Calabar to desist from making himself superior to his Seniors in service where he attempts to condition Candidates to pay him visit even after paying same to his Superiors else he wouldn't attend to their safety whenever called upon.

We need a working system and not what he is seamlessly communicating as his standard.
