Peter Obi’s VP, Yusuf Datti meets Tinubu, sparks defection rumours

The Labour Party (LP) vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, on Friday met with the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima.

Naija News reports that Yusuf Datti is the running mate to former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, in the 2023 presidential race.

A photo shared online today, however, shows the entrepreneur and former lawmaker kneeling down to greet Tinubu and Shettima inside a mosque.

Apparently, Yusuf Datti was simply showing respect for the APC presidential candidate who is by age older than him.

However, former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, alleged the gesture was Yusuf Datti’s way of lobbying to decamp to the ruling camp to support the Tinubu/Shettima ticket.

Sharing the photo via his verified Twitter handle, Garba wrote: “While lobbying to decamp to APC and support Tinubu/Shettima ticket, Yusuf Datti, Peter Obi’s Vice-Presidential candidate bows to Kashim Shettima and Bola Tinubu to pay homage.

“Baba ma da Babansa.”
