Dr Hakeem announced his appearance on Channels TV's Politics Today.
Hakeem's younger brother, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, is vying for vice president of the Labour Party.
“I can only root for Obi and my younger brother Datti if they are the best candidates. You know I’m working on a project with Northern Elders Forum, which gives all the candidates a level playing ground,” he remarked.
He also said that many Nigerians might be denied their right to vote due to security concerns, either because they cannot travel freely or because INEC cannot deploy for election purposes.
He continued, “There is a huge problem that must be tackled decisively. If you look at the South East, IPOB, unknown gunmen, whatever are targeting people and moving freely. People are being prevented from voting because some are burning INEC facilities.”
