The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Friday unveiled Datti Baba-Ahmed as his running mate.
Obi who announced Datti Baba-Ahmed as his running mate at exactly 11.01 am, said both of them have began the process to rescue and rebuild Nigeria, from the ruins of misrule by the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“We must ensure that this country is secured, united and productive. It has been done in many emerging nations before, it is not rocket science,” he declared.
“ We are young, energetic and committed the vast land of the North into our future crude oil. From Maiduguri to Abuja, we saw a vast land and we must unlock this missing asset.”
He disclosed that Kano and Kaduna will remain the processing centers for the country.
He expressed his confidence in the ability of the running mate to utilize his wealth of experience in the rescue Nigeria project.
“ He is a young man, and we know what he can do. He cannot have a P.hD in Economics for nothing”
