Sowore: Datti knew Obi was a ‘packaged fraud’ before 2023 election

African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, knew Peter Obi was a “packaged fraud” before becoming his running mate in the 2023 presidential election.

Sowore made the allegation while reacting to comments attributed to Datti, where he reportedly stated that Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and other political figures could not provide the solutions Nigeria needs.

In a post shared on his X handle, Sowore claimed that Datti had firsthand knowledge of Obi’s political background and character during their time together on the Labour Party presidential ticket.

“He knew Peter Obi, whom he deputised, was a packaged fraud. That needs no repeating, he just revealed what he knew up close,” Sowore wrote.

The AAC candidate also revisited the 2023 presidential election Peace Accord ceremony, claiming he sat beside Datti during the event and observed his interaction with President Bola Tinubu.

Sowore alleged that he had raised concerns about the relationship between Obi, Datti and Tinubu at the time, but his comments were dismissed by supporters of the Labour Party candidate.

He said those who criticised him during the 2023 election period now had a better understanding of the situation, urging Nigerians to carefully evaluate political choices ahead of the 2027 general election.
