The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) has chosen former senator and founder of Baze University, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed as his running mate in the forthcoming 2023 general election.

This was disclosed by the National Chairman of the LP Julius Abure.

After leaving office in 2007, Baba-Ahmed returned to his Baze business group and founded Baze University.

By 2011, he moved back to politics and won the Kaduna North senate seat, under the PDP.

However, the electoral tribunal overturned his victory and he left office in 2012.

He became a notable professor and expert on Islamic jurisprudence. He is known to have been speaking out against corruption and the rot in the country’s educational system.

He is the founder and Pro–Chancellor of Baze University, an independent university located in Abuja in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria which opened in April 2011.
