The Labour Party’s 2023 Vice-Presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has attributed Nigeria’s current wave of insecurity to the desperation that fueled the removal of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
He made the remark on Tuesday while speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme.
“I contested with the late former president Muhammadu Buhari in 2011. But ever since he made a security threat comment, I refused to go out with him.
“It didn’t matter if I lost the Senate seat, but I won it eventually. Buhari said, you [will all be] soaked in blood. Kaduna is my state. There was serious violence in Kaduna. Many houses were burnt.
“They went and brought people from neighbouring countries in readiness to remove Jonathan,” he stated.
