On Thursday, the Labour Party clarified that it currently has no intentions of merging with the Peoples Democratic Party to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
The statement came in response to Atiku Abubakar’s suggestion on Tuesday, where he proposed opposition parties unite to defeat the APC in the next presidential poll.
LP spokesperson Obiora Ifoh emphasized that the party has not engaged in any discussions regarding a potential merger.
Ifoh highlighted that Atiku’s call was merely a proposal, emphasizing the importance of fostering democracy in Nigeria.
Notably, the APC criticized Atiku’s merger plan, asserting that he was struggling to come to terms with reality following his loss in the presidential poll.
The National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka, suggested that the PDP should prioritize resolving its internal party conflicts.
