Fayose made the remarks in a video shared on his official Facebook page, where he questioned Baba-Ahmed’s political influence and electoral performance during the 2023 election.
According to him, Baba-Ahmed failed to deliver even in his home state after being selected as Obi’s running mate on the Labour Party ticket.
“Datti Ahmed is a failure. Nobody knew this man before Peter Obi picked him in 2022 as his running mate,” Fayose said.
“In 2023, Datti Ahmed failed to win even his state. When Obi picked this guy in 2022, we were all shouting, who is this guy and why will Obi pick this kind of person? Looking at the way things are going now, Obi got it wrong.”
Fayose also alleged that Baba-Ahmed’s recent criticism of Obi was influenced by disappointment over the former Anambra State governor’s political alignment ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
“He is a failure and a jealous man. He is jealous that Obi did not pick him again this time. Datti Ahmed, thank you for wasting our time four years ago,” he said.
Fayose further claimed that the person reportedly being considered as Obi’s running mate for the 2027 election had greater popularity, political experience and influence in northern Nigeria.
“The person we have now as Obi’s vice-presidential candidate is more capable, more popular and wiser than you in the North. You are a waste of time, Mr Datti Ahmed,” he added.
Baba-Ahmed’s political relationship with Obi has come under increased public scrutiny as various opposition figures and political groups position themselves ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
