Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has criticised Labour Party's 2023 vice-presidential candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, describing him as a failure. According to Naija News, Isaac Fayose also said Peter Obi made a wrong choice in selecting Baba-Ahmed as his running mate. The remarks add to ongoing commentary within Nigerian political circles over the Labour Party's 2023 presidential campaign and its key figures.

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party's vice-presidential candidate in Nigeria's 2023 election, has said that the major contenders expected to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 poll lack the capacity to move the country forward. Baba-Ahmed, who ran alongside Peter Obi in 2023, made the remarks during an appearance on the MicOn Podcast, according to Ripples Nigeria. His comments appear to dismiss Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and other potential challengers ahead of the next presidential race.

Datti Baba-Ahmed, Peter Obi's running mate in Nigeria's 2023 presidential election, said Obi moved out of his political comfort zone against his advice ahead of the 2027 election. According to Information Nigeria, Baba-Ahmed made the remarks during an interview on the MIC ON Podcast while responding to a question about what had changed in his perception of Obi.

Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress presidential candidate for 2027, has alleged that Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party's 2023 vice-presidential candidate, knew Peter Obi was a "packaged fraud" when he joined the party's ticket for the 2023 election. According to a report by Leadership, Sowore made the claim in a post on his X handle, apparently reacting to recent comments or events involving the former Labour Party running mates.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has explained his choice of former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate for the 2027 presidential election. Speaking in an interview with The Sun published on Sunday, Obi said the decision was based on their shared commitment to common goals, according to African Examiner. The report did not include further details from the interview.

Peter Obi, described as the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate for the 2027 election, said his record as former Anambra state governor shows he can improve Nigeria if elected president. According to Information Nigeria, his remarks responded to comments by his former running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, regarding politicians challenging President Bola Tinubu.
