In a dramatic turn of event in the last 24 hours since Peter obi defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, his vice presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Yusuf datti Ahmed has described his former principal Peter obi as incompetent to be a leader.
In a video now going viral, the former labour party vice presidential candidate dismissed Peter obi as a man too unserious and weak to lead a country like Nigeria.
Please watch yourself and hear his argument 👇🏿

Yusuf Datti dn scatter the table way remain oo

He said that the North won’t back Peter Obi/Kwakansko ticket, lists some criteria that the former Kano state governor is higher than Obi, says Obi let him down by decamping from Labour Party

He said so in the video. He even enumerated what made kwakwanso superior to obi. It's logic not emotions

Datti made a feeble attempt to dress up Pitobi’s glaring incompetence and utter unfitness for the presidency, yet still managed to state the obvious. A man who cannot handle a routine party disagreement, opting instead to flee, now presumes to lead a complex, multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation like Nigeria. The contradiction is almost laughable.

And then there’s the absurdity of expecting Kwankwaso, with his substantial academic pedigree and extensive political experience, to play second fiddle to someone whose intellectual record is, at best, unimpressive, scraping through a 3rd-class philosophy degree after overstaying a 4-year program. It’s an insult to reason.

The notion of Pitobi becoming president is not just unlikely, it is utterly implausible. And as for Datti, he should brace himself, they are coming to cancel him.

It's the dialectic contradiction for me.

Datti go hear am tomorrow.

Hope he has a thick skin

Continue to Cry 😭😭😭😭😭

Las las, the ticket will be OK and not KO...

The politically greater Kwankwaso will be Obi's VP candidate.

Lol. Absolutely Baba. Music is life and I personally link it with expression of our everyday realities and experiences.

As the beautiful and legendary Lauryn Hill said, "they've got so very mean things to say right now".

Datti go hear am indeed , many mean things, from the toxic bunch. Same lot bullied and attacked Bianca Ojukwu mercilessly. Her crime? "Working with the enemy" PBAT.

With Obi's looming banishment in 2027, hopefully Nigerians will be free of them.

Indeed. They will never understand democracy. Many decades of frustration awaits them.

Life can be beautiful if God gives you the vision to understsnd it.

It can also be hell if the Devil is in charge of your mind. Lol.

Here's my breakdown of the reasons behind Dati’s outbursts
1. He felt sidelined by Obi, believing he was being replaced by a more seasoned Vice Presidential candidate in Kwankwaso. Despite this, his loyalty remained intact until the final point of their separation.
2. I am in 100% agreement that Obi lacked the necessary grit to fight for his constitutional rights in 2023, when it mattered most.
3. Ultimately, he senses that Obi might have finally found his footing. This perceived shift in the polity has left him feeling significantly threatened.

What if he praised Peter Obi..Sone people will run from the thread
Obi has made a big mistake yet some data bots are not yet comfortable at all 😂😂😂

phd holders, professor and Masters degree holders are working for Tompolo...... Hope u sabi who dey they call Tompolo?

Everyone keeps talking of this Obi. He's obviously a strong man.

Who decides whom the North backs?

They are all jittery that's why everyone keep monitoring Obi's choices like evil.monitoring spirits. Datti is sounding pained for being replaced by Kwankwaso. How do opposition leave the man in power amd attack a fellow opposition member?

With all Datti has said, what exactly has he gained? Nothing but venting of anger and frustration

Tinubu supporters are now suddenly fans of Datti🤣🤣🤣they are reopening threads daily repeating the same news back to back

A thread opened by the Tinubu supporters to console themselves 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

Tinubu is going home next year and they will never rule Nigeria ever again.

All these people are always at loggerheads to favour Tinubu.

... really una don start.... 6.1million vote is not dsame as 1, million oga rest.... Even Kwankwaso doesn't agree to what ya saying.

There’s a huge sigh of relief I get knowing Nigerians will finally be free of Obidients toxicity and wrapped thinking after 2027 elections

Datti must be an ungrateful man, kwankwaso and obi was on the ballot last election yet datti was blind to spot the difference. Obi is now a house hold name

Lol.a 🤡 that couldn't make an Impact in Kaduna is here giving political lecture.

This man Is like atifku..they want to be carried along all the time.

7, million vote is greater that 1.4 million.
Tell your Papa and Mama that I Ngwaman the senior prefect flog you.

This is the second time posting this on front-page. How many votes did Datti abi dirty even contribute in the last election? Abeg make he and his aghado supporters go rest.

Obi and Buhari seems to have similar narrative. The unfortunate part is if he becomes president the obidientst themselves will hate him

This man is a disgrace ..

A vice presidential candidate that couldn’t deliver his polling unit.. What a clown!

Datti that is not even considered a politician in his own state is talking .

He's inconsequential in northern politics , he's voiceless.

This is a man that Peter Obi gave small level by making him his vice in 2023 election , he didn't even win in his own polling unit.

Datti, you're nothing in northern politics so shut the hell up.

Ok is POssible

Was osibanjo not more educated than buhari

But you never get tired recycling same bad news on front page many times over

Obi is only there to share votes and help Tinubu win
