Another opposition political party, the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP), has signified its intention to join the newly formed opposition party coalition, All Progressives Congress (APC).

DPP's entry has further swelled the number of the opposition parties involved in the merger to four, with the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and All Nigeria People's Party ( ANPP) already in the merger.

Addressing Journalists Wednesday after the party's National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, the DPP National Chairman retired Major General Bashir S. Magashi, said the party having analyzed the present political development in the country has resolved to close ranks with the other opposition parties to float a merger.

He said the party has decided to set up a merger committee to immediately enter into negotiations with other opposition parties and leaders of APC.

Are you aware that the strongest opposition party in Delta State is DPP(followed by the ACN)??

If the DPP joins this merger, then We'll have a more formidable opposition in the state with the ability to wrest power from the PDP which has failed Deltans.

Nice! We are moving closer to a two-party system which will make room for competition of ideas!

It's funny how some politicians in Nigeria are termed "serial losers", yet we forget that some of the greatest and most revered politicians in modern history (e.g. Lincoln, Disraeli, Churchill) actually suffered several electoral defeats over the course of their respective careers.

Things change, gentlemen.

take dat: Nice! We are moving closer to a two-party system which will make room for competition of ideas!
