At the Labour Party’s grand finale campaign rally in Lagos on Saturday, February 11, 2023, the Vice Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, slammed the opposition parties, ‘PDAPC‘.
Datti was fiery as he spoke to the crowd of supporters who gathered at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) on Lagos Island. He exclaimed, “PDAPC dey craze” while addressing the enthusiastic crowd.
The rally was attended by important figures such as the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, National Chairman Julius Abure, the Director General of the Obi/Datti campaign council, Prof Akin Osuntokun, Afenifere leader Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and others.
Datti, known for his calm demeanour, was fueled by the energy of the crowd as he used a phrase from one of Nigeria’s musical legends, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, in pidgin English to emphasize his points.
“Fela talk say dem dash us democracy, dem teach us dem go, no be so?,” Datti asked the crowd of supporters.
He went on to say that being a democratic nation does not mean that citizens in Nigeria are unaware of their rights.
Datti’s words: “The fact say we get democracy no mean say we craze. Whoever thinks say we craze, na hin craze. PDAPC na dem craze.
“Anybody wey come stand in front of you talk say dey improve the security of Nigeria, wetin happen to that person, tell dem dey craze….”
The Vice Presidential candidate emphasized their plan, to guide Nigeria towards greatness and pointed out that the Labour Party has brought the nation together, ending previous conflicts among the population.
Datti’s words: “Only Obi and my humble self are ready to lead Nigeria to greatness. Fellow Nigerians, Nigeria is that great country on the surface of the earth that bad governance has denied progress and we have to change it.
‘Labour Party is that party that has stopped Nigerians from fighting themselves and has united Nigerians.”
