Datti Baba-Ahmed: Tinubu Has Tried by Keeping Shettima As His VP, He Shouldn’t Have Lasted This Long

Datti Baba-Ahmed believes VP Shettima is lucky to still be President Tinubu’s deputy as he shouldn’t have been allowed to “last this long”

Former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed has made a series of pointed remarks about Vice President Kashim Shettima, stating that he should not have been allowed to “last this long” as Vice President.

Speaking in an interview on ARISE NEWS on Thursday, Baba-Ahmed, while responding to the insinuations that Shettima’s VP slot is not assured in 2027, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has tried by keeping him this long.

Though he refrained from going into specifics, Baba-Ahmed suggested that unspoken truths underpin the political rise and continued relevance of Shettima.

“I don’t blame Tinubu, because whoever knows what Shettima did and does will not even allow him to last this long. The airwaves cannot carry it. I’m telling you, the airwaves cannot carry it. And I know I’m speaking on TV. So Tinubu has tried keeping him this long. So, even the consideration that he be dropped, I think Tinubu has tried for keeping him this long.”

Baba-Ahmed’s comments formed part of a broader critique of the current administration, which he claimed came into power through manipulation and illegitimacy, describing Tinubu not as a thriving leader but as a product of a rigged system.

He described the 2023 election outcome as a product of manipulation and secrecy, stating that what Nigerians see as a stable presidency is a façade.

“You see a flourishing, powerful president. I see a rigged leader,” he added.

Please let's focus on the ADC coalition for now. We will come back to whether Shettima should VeePee in 2027 or not.
What's the stake of OBi and the Igbos in ADC?

This one is just mouthing off like a drunk. It's giving "pick me". He should just decamp to the APC in peace. Tinubu seems to get the ick from attracting his opponent's Vice.

This man, the number 2 gbajue adherent, will soon become the object of a bitter attack from the gbajue mob themselves!

They took your advice, they're building bridges

40 characters nno oo

Why is Datti crying like a canary bird since Peter joined ADC?

We know. It will be a landslide victory for Atiku.. all these Tinubu supporters pushing Obi to pull out if he doesn't get the ticket, we know Una.... You guys are looking for easy victory for Tinubu... Atiku must contest and Obi must be his VP

This man should quietly live his boring political life in peace

Hehe this man wan shake table like Reno jajajaja

When even tinubu knew that shetimma was instrumental to his political success

Do you know what it means to get the ick? Why not stick to our local slangs to avoid sounding "icky"?

Humble advice.

Tinubu wey dey always get problem with him deputy.

Same thing happened during his first term as Lagos Governor.

Tinubu moves like a little god who demands your worship.

That is why his supporters are slaves.

If you are not ready to roll yourself like a doormat, you can't work with Tinubu. Ask Koforoworola Bucknor.

Until Sanwo-Olu brought GAC to beg him, he was ready to beef him to the extent of ignoring him in public.

Nothing but an arrogant egomaniac. I don't blame Shettima, he doesn't want to be like Osibanjo.

No educated person should be a slave to another man.

Unfortunately that is what his boss wants.

go and deal with Aisha on that, nothing concern tinubu

What did Shettima did? As far as I'm concerned he didn't did anything.

Landslde to victory in where. Sometime you people talk nonsense like you are the only person who will vote him. A person who has been fight presidency for over 30 years probably will be the worse president. He was there as vp, what did he do, nothing but to sell Nigeria for his own pocket. All the nonsense politcians has hold one office or the others, what did they do. They say Jonathan was not good. Illetrate Buhari came in and he was worse. Frogeyes came now they said he worser. Someone else will come tomorrow and he will be 10 times worse. Atiku has not to offer. Since leaving, what has he done for Nigeria to show he is a good leader. He only come back every 4 years to contest.

It is all mind games, they are just trying to create an imaginary divide between Shettima and Tinubu.

People forget that they attempted it with PMB and Osinbajo, when PMB was hospitalized. The same people who once called Osinbajo a mere commissioner started hyping him to spite PMB so as to create a divide.

Tell us, those in the know.
What did he do?



(Political politics politics)

Tinubu no get option, Kwankwaso can't come to APC because of present masses body language. RMK joining the APC might diminish his political value and integrity.

Let them find away to self destruct.

They have brought nothing but total disaster to the Country with their Apc nonsense.

This is just psychological warfare by Baba-Ahmed the Mauritanian Fulani guy. Period.

Not discerning.
Reflect more.. no pick me vibes there...

Even a core member of your so called ADC (Datti Ahmed) is talking about APC because he knows ADC is nothing but association of frustrated politicians, you an unknown individual is stressing yourself about it. My friend don’t bother yourself, ADC is dead on arrival because those desperately greedy politicians will kill it.

Back to your question, for Obi, he will get a vp slot to Atiku but they will again lose and for the Igbos, they should support Tinubu’s second term because he’d really done well to the south east.

No vp ticket for him, simple as that. It's a game of interest.

If you are truly educated, U should understand that VP position in Nigeria serves as *placeholder* VP's no dey really function like that.

But hatred for Tinubu no go allow U see clearly or stat the fact.

Dirty-Ahmed, sorry, Dat-thing Ahmed, sorry, once again, Datti Baba-Ahmed, please, stop your shenanigans!


Trying to create bad blood between Tinubu and his Vice wouldn't give your new found love (ADC) any tangible leverage.


It's advisable that you channel your efforts at seeing the ADC through its teething stages before offering your unsolicited opinion about Shettima who is hardly conscious about your existence.


Besides, the JAGABAN is a professor of "politics", an astute politician, a wily political craftsman, an undisputable political heavyweight and a master strategist.


He needs no advice from a political lilliputian of your type.


Asiwaju is cool, calm and calculated!



He knows when to strike when the iron is hot!


Tinubu till 2031!



No "shakement"!
