Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by etokhana(op): 9:19pm On Sep 02, 2025
Former Labour Party Vice-Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said that Nigerians can only have true leaders when they are genuinely elected.

Datti Baba-Ahmed stated this on Tuesday while responding to questions in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

When asked how to stop the cycle of killings in Nigeria, he said, “Only when you have the right leaders; you can only have the right leaders when you have them truly elected.

“So long as people steal elections, you will never have security. Most drastic is that when that group of people use the tools of insecurity that we have seen in 2015, and it worked, and they achieved what they wanted.

“And again they use, now, for example, the tools of religion, ethnicity, division within political parties and heavy use of money.”

This man just dey open mouth anyhow dey talk like ordinary civil defense vice chairman angry. He keep talking as if all of them didn't rig election in their regions angry. It was a matter of --"the best and smartest rigger won the election" simple.

On point, sir. But agberodians will not like to hear this. But the country keeps sliding into darkness, deeper and more dangerous dungeon.
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by Heffalump(m): 10:09pm On Sep 02, 2025
These are words on the marble.

Datti made a strong remark here. If you stole election results, you have no obligations to fulfill to the people.

Meaning that Obi became governor by stealing another person's mandate.
There were a lot of dead bodies always in Ezu river during his tenure.

That means all politicians/leaders including yourself needs to be wiped out.

Tinubu is an example of a mandate stealer. A certificate fraudster who came last in the election.
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by Melagros(m): 10:30pm On Sep 02, 2025
COMRADES, I agree with Baba Ahmed on this one, insecurity is still ravaging the country as a result of the massive electoral fraud committed during the second term of Muhammadu Buhari and the worst possible happened in 2023 for Tinubu to come in
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by ScamDemicEra: 10:31pm On Sep 02, 2025
.... so true !!!

otumopo/occult/rigging can help win election but can't help in actual governance e.g economy, security, infrastructure etc !!!
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by Silasworld(m): 10:34pm On Sep 02, 2025
You are absolutely right sir. This current set of politicians are not the choice of the people
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by jaxxy(m): 10:41pm On Sep 02, 2025

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

In all this happening in Nigeria politics today, the people that will suffer it most when Tinubu leave office is the South West.

Today just like Buhari, nothing Tinubu do the South West will ever see wrong in it. We'll be here when y'all will come to shout marginalisation when another President take over.
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by Niccoloimhotep(m): 10:56pm On Sep 02, 2025

Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by Racoon(m): 11:16pm On Sep 02, 2025
Hehehe! Shots fired! Grab it, snatch it and run away with it yet clueless and grossly incompetent
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by PUNANI01: 11:33pm On Sep 02, 2025
Nigerian don't like such a leader, you want those who can grab, steal and run with ballots boxes.
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by IMPARTIAL: 11:42pm On Sep 02, 2025
I agree! But how feasible for these good leaders to come in?

If you are not a bad guy in Nigeria, you cannot win elections.
Re: Only Leaders who do not steal elections Can Stop Insecurity - Datti Baba-Ahmed by paxonel(m): 11:49pm On Sep 02, 2025
It's just that good guys who wish to be elected are brainwashed by religion and tradition that politics is a dirty and diabolical game
