Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar has made an intriguing revelation.
He said: “I will not hesitate to support Obi in the next election if the party picks him.”
“We can merge to achieve a common goal. So, it’s possible and nothing can stop it if we so wish to achieve that.”
“If the new party decides that it’s the turn of the South-East and Peter Obi is chosen, I won’t hesitate to support him.”
“I have said repeatedly and I even said it before the 2023 general elections that if PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically, I won’t contest it.”
“As long as it is the decision of the party, I will abide by it. But I contested the 2023 presidential ticket because it was thrown open to all members of the party”.
For those who don’t know, Atiku is currently on a merger talk with stakeholders of some opposition political parties.
Besides, Atiku and Obi recently met behind closed doors as rumours about a merger of some opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections has risen.
