I informed Obi before meeting with Abure -Datti counters Tanko | READ DETAILS
The polity have been heated with controversies and claims after Datti Baba-Ahmed, running mate to Mr. Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election was pictured in attendance at the Labour Party National Executive Committee meeting led by Julius Abure on Monday.
One of such controversial claims came from Yunusa Tanko one of the aides to Obi, saying that his principal has no knowledge of such meeting.
Clearing the air, Datti while appearing on Channels Television’s programme; “The Morning Brief”, on Tuesday, said;
“I don’t talk to Mr. Tanko, I relate with our boss, His Excellency Peter Obi. His Excellency, Peter Obi, is aware. He probably has been too busy to update the Tankos around him. I speak with the boss, not with those who move around with him, and I’m happy to still have the Tankos around; they are loyal, they are active. Peter Obi is aware, please.”
Speaking further on issues concerning Labour Party Datti stated;
“Labour Party is not a party to walk away from, not a party to be abandoned or to be ignored. I assure you that every little step I take, concerned parties are aware; I don’t need to get too much into our internal operation, but give you a categorical answer — everyone that has to do with everything that I do is aware.
“I call for parties to get together and talk; that’s the way forward. When the parties meet, journalists will get the headlines of what was discussed. I’m a positive catalyst in this case. I’m bringing people together to unite, understand themselves, and make good efforts again to rescue Nigeria.”
