The Vice Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, on Monday disclosed that he dumped the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State because of his ‘principles and hard stance on vote-buying’
The 46-year-old economist made the clarification at a press conference held at Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja on Monday.
Prior to his statement, sources said that Baba-Ahmed was forced to abandon his governorship ambition because many Kaduna delegates vowed to snub him at the PDP primaries. The disgruntled PDP delegates had described him as a frugal person who seeks to aspire to political office without proper ‘consultation’ with them and other party supporters.
But the founder of Baze University insisted that he walked away from the PDP because of his firm stance on not paying delegates for votes at the primaries.
