The 2023 Labour Party vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has announced his decision to DUMP the party for Peoples Redemption Party (PRP)
He cited internal disagreements and a departure from the party’s original principles as his reasons
He made the announcement on Tuesday during an appearance on Politics Today, where he explained that the Labour Party had changed significantly from what it stood for at its inception.
“I am leaving the Labour Party tomorrow. There is more to it. When there was real peace in the Labour Party was when they posted back.
They redeployed someone with a specific purpose and because of the antecedent of the individual to make life difficult, particularly for me. What the Labour Party stood for then is no longer what it is today,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed further disclosed that his exit from the party would take effect at midnight, adding that his new political home is the Peoples Redemption Party.
“I am leaving the Labour Party midnight and I am joining PRP. PRP is the new destination. PRP is the one with a history. It’s about 75 years old,” he stated.
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), founded in 1978 by the late Aminu Kano, is one of Nigeria’s oldest political movements.
