Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party vice presidential candidate has dismissed insinuations that the Obidient movement does not enjoy acceptance by people in the Northern region of the country.
He disclosed this during an interview on Arise Television, noting that whoever thinks that the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, are not accepted in the North is making a big mistake.
He said, “Whoever thinks that Labour Party or Obidient Movement or Peter Obi as an individual is not being welcomed in the north, they are making huge mistakes.”
The Kaduna State-born politician was confident that his party will emerge victorious in next year’s presidential election.
He based his optimism on the result of three recent surveys conducted by credible bodies to gauge the choice of electorates ahead of the general election.

Commenting on the rallies that witnessed the turnout of thousands of Obi-Datti supporters in major cities across the country, Baba-Ahmed insisted that those “crowds” were not rented but organic.
He added, “I am not a crowd-renter and I can tell you that Peter Obi is not a crowd-renter. Those are legitimate, bonafide, self-funded, organic crowds.”
