The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has revealed the type of running mate he wants ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Obi said on the ARISE Morning Show Wednesday morning, that he would like someone like Yusuf Datti-Ahmed as his running mate.

The former governor of Anambra State said he prefers to have younger people who have a lot to offer rather than recycling old hands.

“We need to start lowering.g these barriers and bring younger people with fresh ideas, rather than recycling ourselves.

“We will announce as soon as we’re ready, and that will be very soon.”
