I am Peter Obi’s man. I still want Peter Obi to come back to the Labour Party and contest in 2027,” he said.
On the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission , Baba-Ahmed said the commission must demonstrate competence and credibility.According to him, electoral fraud remains at the root of Nigeria’s national challenges. “Not somebody who clearly read what the constitution provides — 25 percent in at least two-thirds of states of the federation and the FCT — but went ahead to breach it and put Nigeria in what it is today,” he said.
“The electoral fraud is right now the most important fact to be addressed in our life as a nation, even beyond insecurity. Insecurity is derived from electoral fraud. Corruption is aggravated by the kind of electoral fraud that we have.
