Labour Party’s 2023 vice presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, fought back tears on Tuesday as he decried the insecurity in Nigeria, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of using the crisis as a political tool.
Baba-Ahmed, who was a guest on Tuesday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today programme, said he was deeply pained by the situation.
“I am in so much pain, believe me. Nigeria is a great country, should be a great country, and we have people destroying us by the hour. Insecurity has been part of APC’s game, and Nasiru [El-Rufai] is saying it, and I think he is right.
“The government has been paying them. Insecurity has been part of APC’s way of staying in power; that is my candid, firm opinion, strengthened by the kind of unfortunate comments like that of Nasiru,” he alleged.
Baba-Ahmed claimed that former Kaduna State governor, El-Rufai, cannot absolve himself of blame over his [El-Rufai’s] allegation that the government was “empowering and paying bandits.”
