Datti Baba-Ahmed Quits Labour Party to Join PRP at Midnight

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has announced he will leave the Labour Party and join the Peoples Redemption Party at midnight. Speaking on a national news programme, he cited growing internal disagreements and a departure from the party’s founding ideals as key reasons. “What the Labour Party stood for then is no longer what it is today,” he said, referring to recent redeployment decisions he described as targeted. Baba-Ahmed highlighted PRP’s 75-year history since its founding by Aminu Kano in 1978. His move follows his run as the Labour Party’s vice-presidential candidate alongside Peter Obi in 2023, marking a significant shift in the party’s leadership landscape.
