The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are practically extinct as political parties, according to Datti Baba-Ahmed, vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP).
“APC is effectively over. There are no PDP votes. On Sunday Politics on Channels Television, Baba-Ahmed declared that only the Labour Party was legitimately running for office.
He contends that since Nigeria’s return to power in 1999, its citizens have suffered and grown weary of the “misrule” of both the PDP and the APC, and that they will express their suffering by casting their votes to remove the insensitive parties and their leaders.
The APC and the PDP, according to Peter Obi, the 61-year-old presidential candidate for the LP, simply have systems for distributing money and not for enacting effective governance to improve the lives of citizens.

“Go out in the market, go out in every public space and find out, the pains in the body and hearts of Nigerians is what is going to their thumb in February.”
“Only one party has a genuine structure, and that is the Labour Party,” Baba-Ahmed said.
Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, would be “unmade after all his political accomplishments,” according to Baba-Ahmed, who claimed that Buhari had finished with Nigeria.
“At the UNGA (United Nations General Assembly), he (Buhari) says the only legacy he can leave is a credible election. Now, this is a heartbreak for APC,” said Baba-Ahmed.
“Who made Buhari after Almighty Allah? Tinubu. All the failed attempts (of Buhari), Tinubu came and added millions of votes and make Buhari.
“Who is going to unmake Tinubu after all his political successes? Buhari, because Buhari has finished his eight years. It is not about how well Nigeria was run or how bad Nigeria was run, they have finished with Nigeria, they have finished with everybody. Tinubu can go to blazes; it means nothing to Buhari and that is Buhari for you.”
Baba-Ahmed went on to say that he has taken down every obstacle in Obi’s way in the north, noting that the former governor of Anambra State is now well-liked by young people and other demographic groups in the area, which typically performs well in electoral turnout for president.
Additionally, Tinubu and his PDP rival Atiku Abubakar don’t have enough days to spend the money they have “saved,” according to the LP vice presidential candidate.
“Tinubu’s life is not long enough to squander the money completely. There are not enough days in Atiku’s life for him to spend all of that money. Therefore, they must use it to fund the 2023 elections. And people will gather it if you have money to spend, according to Baba-Ahmed.
