Senator Baba-Ahmed, who is in his 40s is the Proprietor of Baze University, Abuja and Baba-Ahmed University Kano will on Friday be unveiled officially.

The unveiling of the vice-presidential candidate was initially slated for Thursday to be done by the LP’s Presidential candidate at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja.

 

However, the National Chairman of the party, Barrister Julius Abure said that the ceremony could not go ahead as planned because the Presidential candidate, who had travelled to Maiduguri and was expected back in Abuja on Thutsday afternoon had his flight cancelled.

 

Abure announced that the unveiling of Mr. Obi’s running mate was rescheduled for Friday, July 8 at the party’s headquarters, Abuja.
