The Labour Party, LP, Vice Presidential candidate, has
informed doubters that social media will actually vote in the forthcoming
presidential election.
On Friday, Baba-Ahmed was picked as running mate to the
Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Hours later, in an interview on Channels Television’s
Politics Today, he said recent data shows that Nigerians in the diaspora are
already booking their flights for the election.
He also said they are not scared of the moneybags, adding
that their money will become very irrelevant as the election approaches.
“Go and start looking at the booking of major European
airlines into Nigeria not during Christmas time. Funny enough this time after
Christmas time late January to the third week of February, you will see that
they’re getting full unusually.
“I’m into the business of data and statistics and I decided
to look into that. This tells you that social media is getting to vote.
“Social media, even if they’re in Canada or Antarctica, one
person is there and she mobilizes a hundred thousand people here to go out and
vote, it has succeeded.
“But we’re not scared. The bank balance of any big
politician is starting to be irrelevant. Those of us who sweated for the little
that we have, we’re spending it very wisely and very carefully.”
