Datti Baba-Ahmed says Peter Obi remains his “boss,” clarifying that his recent remarks about Obi’s political role are not a personal rupture. He adds that he could have helped Obi in Benue had he been contacted, referring to a recent incident in the state.
Both outlets report that Baba-Ahmed faces criticism after comments that some interpreted as questioning Obi’s political capacity. In response, he emphasizes his continued respect for Obi as a former governor and his ongoing personal relationship with him. Vanguard and Information Nigeria both portray Baba-Ahmed’s position as a clarification intended to separate political assessment from personal regard.
While the articles focus on the same core statements, they differ mainly in emphasis: Vanguard highlights that the clarification is to prevent the statement from being read as a breakdown in their personal ties, whereas Information Nigeria frames the claim as part of his response to public criticism and notes the potential for assistance in Benue. Neither outlet provides further detail on the Benue incident itself.
