Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has given conditions that would make him accept any merger between his party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 elections.

Reacting to a statement by the presidential candidate of the PDP and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, on the likelihood of a merger between both parties, the former Anambra State governor said during an interview with NoireTV at the weekend, that he would enter into a merger agreement with any party or individual only if it serves the greater good of Nigeria.

He commended Atiku’s willingness to support him if it benefits the southeastern region of the country and emphasised the need for any merger or alliance to be focused on improving governance and helping the poor, not just winning elections or for state capture.

“I commend Atiku for his statement especially where he said he will support me if it goes to the South East. On the issue of a merger and the coming together of parties, I have always said that as long as any merger or any coming together is to better Nigeria and for governing properly, I am for it. If it is just a merger for election or state capture, I’m not for it. I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to see Nigeria work, especially for the poor, because we have a lot of potential.


“So, if the merger is to be able to govern Nigeria properly on all those things that will make Nigeria a better place, I am for it. It might be at the party level, it might be at the individual level or at any level, we must come together to be able to build a better Nigeria.”


In an interview with BBC Hausa, Atiku has been engaging Obi to discuss the possibility of a merger and that he would support anyone chosen to represent the PDP in 2027 — even if the candidate is from the south-east.

“This is to anybody that thinks there is going to be a misunderstanding between me and Obi, let me assure you that not even a small issue is going to happen between us. Also we are going to be behind anybody that will be chosen to represent us in the forthcoming elections.

“I have made it clear in my previous speeches that if our parties are going to merge to agree on a candidate from the south-east, as long as he is qualified, we will allow it,” Atiku said.

Okay

APC will start attacking Obi now.

He has been dropping hints that he is going back to the same group he called the structure of criminality. Starting with the visit to Atiku, Lamido, and Saraki.

That's not surprising though as he once swore that he will never dump APGA for PDP.

Reunion not merger. I wonder where Atiku will get money to prosecute his 2027 ambition since Emefiele ,Okowa and Buhari’s cabal are no longer in power.

Anything to root out the evil party, the APC (All Philandering Crooks) is highly welcome.

He just needs to sell one of his numerous properties in Dubai.

So Atiku is not going to contest again or I did not decode the message very well 🤭

Nigeria has realistically tired me. I want out.

Gbajue baba wyere. See the way the wyere is talking as if he owns the LP.

Someone that made the people of Anambra more poorer they talk nonsense.

Gbajue, you will never become the president or vice president of Nigeria.

Never

If it is just a merger for election or state capture, I’m not for it. I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to see Nigeria work, especially for the poor, because we have a lot of potential.

Peter Obi is fit and over qualified.

Gbajue baba wyere

This is a case of mistaken identity

Tinubu is the only Gbaju e baba werey

Merging to form an alliance in order to dislodge this callous government can never be a solution even if the aim of usurping and taking over comes true.

Any person's individual interest to emerge as the next president can't fix the monstrous problems of this country too.

Why? The nation is disunited beyond repairs, the hate between tribes is beyond imagination, greedy politicians will never let it work.

We can't live together as one. It won't work. The experiment is not working.

The only solution is disintegration.

Divide this country now.

I thought you guys don't care about presidency as other regions aren't better


So Una even want am like this


It's coming from Obi and I believe it, the opinion of any riffraff on NL here is consequential

If the merger will benefit South East. And Obi think Atiku will step down for him?
You're not desperate to become the president, but your actions since the last election says otherwise.

I voted for Obi in the last election. But really, an Atiku and Obi merger will defeat Tinubu any day any time.

Atiku won't accept to be Obi's vice but if Obi accepts to be Atiku's vice, they will win convincingly.

I welcome a merger between them. Something must happen fast as Tinubu is ready to destroy this nation beyond redemption. Omo yoruba ni mi o...

So Obi is going back to his vomit. Good luck to Obi and his supporters.

We all needs a better Nigeria, so any to make Nigeria work again is a better idea.
