Dati Baba-Ahmed, running mate of Peter Obi the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in next year’s elections, has said he agreed to run with him because of his capacity to solve the country’s problems.
He spoke Friday during his formal unveiling in Abuja on Friday, saying he believed in Obi because he believes in his capacity to make Nigeria realise its potential.
According to him, he trusts that Obi would not mismanage Nigeria’s wealth, noting that Obi’ performance as Anambra governor is proff of that.
He was a member of the House of Representatives between 2003 and 2007, and was elected Senator for Kaduna North, in Kaduna State, in April 2011 running on the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) ticket, with a remarkable record for sponsoring important bills and motions in short time.
In 2011, Senator Baba-Ahmed established Baze University, an independent university located in Abuja, and Baba-Ahmed University, Kano (Awaiting License).
In 2015, Baba-Ahmed was appointed as Chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Hope Alive Foundation, which campaigns for the post-service economic survival of corps members who suffered permanent disability during service.
