2027: Peter Obi reveals only condition to work with Atiku
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has revealed that he will only accept a merger with his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar if it serves the greater good of Nigeria.
According to report, Obi made the disclosure during an interview with NoireTV at the weekend, where he stated that an alliance must be focused on improving governance and helping the poor, not just winning elections or for state capture.
According to Obi; “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.

“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,” he said.
