Vice-presidential candidate of Labour Party, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has urged members of the party in Bauchi to shun politics based on ethnic and religious sentiments.
The running mate of Peter Obi made the call while addressing party members in Bauchi, saying they should focus on credible candidates without religious and ethic sentiments.
He advised the party members to shun religion politics and avoid instigation of ethnicity ahead of the general elections in 2023.
Baba-Ahmed said, “I am in Bauchi to encourage you people not to relent on the efforts you are putting in for the labour party in the country.
“Dont be confused with religious and ethnicity issues. Politics is not about religion, if it is religion, then we should allow the clerics to rule.
“God has already made us groups and different tribes across the world, so politics is neither religion nor ethnicity.”
