Labour Party’s former vice-presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, has expressed displeasure following DSS invitation. He said his encounter with DSS makes him feel sorry for the country.
The ex-lawmaker and founder of Baze University was reportedly invited by the
Department of State Services. This is as a result of some comments he made directed at inciting Nigerians.
Baba-ahmed was recently a guest on national television and he blamed the judicial arm and the Nigerian army for permitting the swearing-in of President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
The politician also denied claims that he was summoned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). He added following his encounter with the DSS , he feels sorry for Nigerians over our leaders.
“The EFCC did not invite me, and it is very unlikely they will anytime soon. However, there was a mild Nollywood drama between some gentlemen of the DSS and myself on November 28, 2025. It lasted just two hours and 15 minutes”.
“To sum it all up, I walked into their national headquarters very curious, wondering: Why are you looking for me? I’m not a criminal. The criminals are in your offices and in your corridors of power.
“But anyway, here I am. Talk to me. What do you want? I came out feeling very sorry for the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If these are who you call our leaders, then I understand why the United States of America will have to come and attack terrorists on behalf of Nigerian forces. I feel sorry for us.”
“But yes, a Nollywood drama played out. They pleaded with me that, please, you know, this government is very weak. And the way you’re punching, it can crash. Now listen, these are what we call paper tigers”.
“The wind is blowing and they’re scaring people. Do not be afraid. Trust in God and believe in yourselves. They will add up to nothing.”
