BADNEWS For Tinubu As Peter Obi Finally Agrees With Atiku, Kwankwaso To Form Merger Party Ahead Of 2027
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP) and the New Nigeria People’ s Party (NNPP) are on the brink of merging together in a bid to sack the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
According to political economist, Professor Pat Utomi, who confirmed the development in an exclusive interview on Channels Television, the parties’ candidates in the 2023 presidential poll have all agreed to form a mega party.
When asked if Peter Obi of the Labour Party will be the presidential candidate of the new party, Pat Utomi said: ” No, no, we’ re not talking about candidates now. We’ re talking about what the party will look like, the values that the party will stand for, the policies that the party will stand for, a national strategy.
” Now, I give you a small example. In South Africa up to one level of the ANC, they have conversations about public policy, and all these flow back and they can ask whoever is president of South Africa questions based on that.
” Who in the APC has an idea what APC is doing, even as one of those who founded it, one of those who wrote the road map and all of that? I wrote more than 10 letters to the Chairmen of APC, I never got one single reply, not one reply.
” It’ s a really clean start. You have to start from the premise that Nigeria has not had a political party since 1999. And let’ s be very honest with ourselves. What we have managed is to create platforms that enable machine politics from which to grab power, usually for the purpose of state capture. If you will want to test that, check how much the quality of life of a Nigerian has improved since 1999. “
