Popular activist, Deji Adeyanju has expressed disappointment following reports that Datti Baba Ahmed is set to become the running mate of Peter Obi.
Recall that news about Labour Party flagbearer nominating Ahmed as a running mate broke out lately which stirred reactions and debates about his decision.
If it is true that Datti Baba is Obi’s VP, then this is a social media presidency – Deji Adeyanju
Taking to social media, Deji Adeyanju who seemingly doesn’t agree with Peter Obi on this claimed that peradventure this becomes a reality, then the former Anambra Governor’s quest to become Nigeria’s president will end on social media alone.
He further asked why Peter Obi didn’t consider picking any of the former Northern governors.
Adeyanju in a bid to draw the line between social media and reality made reference to Shehu Sani who has over 2.6M followers on Twitter but ended up with only two votes during the PDP primaries.
He wrote:
“If it is true that Datti Baba Ahmed is Obi’s VP, then i’m sure this is a social media presidency. This ticket reminds me of Shehu Sani who has 2.6m followers on Twitter but scored 2 votes at PDP primaries. Of all the jobless former Governors in the North, Obi couldn’t find any.”
