PDP chieftain meets Peter Obi as Atiku considers forming alliance with Labour Party

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Osita Chidoka,, has said that Atiku Abubakar, the party's presidential candidate, has considered forming an alliance with the Labour Party (LP).

Recall that Atiku Abubakar was declared second in the 2023 presidential election held on February 25, with Peter Obi of the Labour Party coming third and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)'s candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, came fourth in the poll.

Chidoka in a tweet on Wednesday, March 29, said that Atiku Abubakar has asked that the PDP deepen their ties with the Labour Party following the victory of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election.

He tweeted; "At 8 am today I met with Atiku Abubakar and he asked that we deepen our engagement with LP."

The former Minister of Aviation revealed that he met the LP flagbearer, Peter Obi at his office on Wednesday evening.

"At 6pm I met with my brother Peter Obi at his campaign office where he has been since 8am and still plan to be till 10pm.

"Interesting how the erstwhile candidates are out and about pursuing their goals towards a better Nigeria," he posted on Facebook and Twitter.

This comes as both the PDP and the LP are challenging the presidential election results in court.
