Nigeria Why Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed Won't Stop Accusing Tinubu of Drug Dealing

Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, a former federal lawmaker and former vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has reiterated his stance on referring to former Lagos State governor Bola Tinubu as a drug dealer, despite the call for respect. In a recent interview on Arise TV, he made it clear that showing respect to President Bola Tinubu does not deter him from making these allegations.

This assertion came following a world press conference in Abuja, where he accompanied the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Notably, there have been historical reports linking Tinubu to drug-related activities. However, the Supreme Court has declined to rule on such matters.

Baba-Ahmed's unyielding stance on this issue reflects his strong belief that Nigerians should reclaim their country and exercise their rights. He emphasized the need to disarm the population and redirect their efforts towards confronting the real challenges facing Nigeria.

"Sovereignty and power belong to the people! Democracy is the right of those who can practice it," he declared, advocating for a renewed sense of collective ownership and responsibility among Nigerians.

This persistent accusation raises questions about the nature of public discourse and political rhetoric in the country, as well as the impact of such allegations on the broader political landscape. It also highlights the challenges facing Nigerian democracy and the importance of constructive dialogue in addressing critical issues.
