Vice Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, on Monday lamented that he had spent the last 10 years struggling to free himself from the activities of impostors adding that the situation worsened immediately after he was unveiled as the running mate to the party’s flagbearer, Peter Obi.
The founder of Baze University raised the alarm while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja on Monday.
The 46-year-old economist, who was unveiled as Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate on July 8, had served as Senator for Kaduna North from 2011 to 2012 and also as a member of the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2007.
His unveiling ceremony came barely 24 hours after the Director-General of Peter Obi Campaign Organisation, Doyin Okupe, announced his withdrawal as the placeholder for the party.
A saddened Baba-Ahmed, however, admitted on Monday that the fame came with its consequence, stating that his reputation was at stake over the activities of impostors who had opened several accounts in his name.
He said, “Impostors had, right from the inception of the various social media platforms, opened accounts in my name without my knowledge or approval. I wrote several complaints accordingly, which were never attended to satisfactorily.
