Baba-Ahmed, the founder of Baze University, Abuja, Nigeria was announced as the LP vice-presidential candidate in Abuja on Friday. The 52-year-old was a former lawmaker who represented Kaduna North Senatorial district.

Obi, who is seeking to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), after the expiration of his regime in 2023, said, “I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and reuniting Nigeria. This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator". Will Peter Obi be able to win the 2023 elections is the million dollar question
Political Analyst says it may be difficult but not impossible. The conditions to make it happen are fairly in place. It is just about seizing the moment and making the beckoning history. Here are a tips on what Peter Obi supporters needs to do: the first major step is registering and collecting the PVC. Unless over 70% of his supporters possess their PVCs and vote, their support will ultimately prove ineffectual and empty noises .Some aspirant has claimed that Peter Obi is a social media president but things may just turn around for good for the Man of the moment in Nigerian politics.
He may just have a Strategy by Picking Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, but then Gab ELISON has more, let's watch.
