2027: I Don’t See Possibility – Ex-Reps Member Yusuf on Atiku, Peter Obi Merger

 

Tajudeen Yusuf, a former member of the House of Representatives has said he doesn't see the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, merging with his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi.

  

Recall that Obi had met with Atiku, a former Senate President, Bukola Saraki; and Sule Lamido last week.

 

Despite the meeting sparking the possibility of a merger following a coalition call by Atiku, the former Vice President had vowed to keep contesting for the Presidency as long as he’s healthy.

 

Atiku however stated that he would support Obi if the party zones the presidential ticket to the South East.

 

Speaking after the meeting, Obi said he’s not interested in a merger that seeks political powers but one that would salvage Nigerians from poverty.

 

However, appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Yusuf said: “They have worked together before in 2019. It would not be out of place if they work together again. I am not in their minds but I don’t see the possibility.
