2023: Atiku confirms he is in talks with Obi, Kwankwaso about a potential merger

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party says that he would be meeting with the candidates of the New Nigerian People Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso; and Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, to support his ambition in the forthcoming election.

The former vice president made this known during an interview on Tuesday, January 31 on BBC Hausa.

He said Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso are no threats to him emerging victorious at the February 25 poll.

“Although, I see no threat in any of them (Obi and Kwankwaso) but we are in talks.

“The discussion might yield a positive result that will see one of them coming.”

Atiku also addressed the lingering crisis within the PDP.

According to him, every party has its internal crisis, and theirs will be resolved soon.

“Each party has its internal crisis, we are still talking with them. Definitely that will not make us lose the election because we are okay with the election preparations for now,” he said.
