The campaign team of Labour Party presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi, has addressed the possibility of their principal joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after a meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, erstwhile Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in Abuja.
The meeting was held to discuss how to rescue the ‘soul of Nigeria’ from the ruling All Progressives Congress. In an interview with Punch, the chief spokesman of Obi’s presidential campaign organization, Yunusa Tanko, spoke about the chances of Obi returning to the PDP or the possibility of a merger between the Labour Party and the PDP.
Tanko stated that such talks would only remain in the realm of speculations. He emphasized that Obi’s destination will reveal itself in due time.
Tanko said, “Well, not really. Those are the permutations of individuals. I don’t want to dwell on that. But this is still an ongoing discussion. His destination will reveal itself later. Some of these discussions (Obi returning to PDP) are offshoots of what has been happening since the last election.”
Tanko urged everyone to wait and see how these discussions pan out, expressing hope for a positive outcome in the long run.
As of now, it remains uncertain whether Peter Obi will join the PDP or if a merger between the Labour Party and the PDP will occur.
The situation is still unfolding, and time will reveal the ultimate decision.
