APC Says Atiku, Obi Desperation Can’t Be Trusted.

All Progressives Congress says it has dismissed the potential merger talk between the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar and the standard-bearer of the Labour Party in the election, Peter Obi.

It described Atiku and Obi as desperate politicians who could not be trusted with power.

The ruling party also said it had no doubt the meeting between the two opposition candidates would amount to nothing, saying it was being fuelled by a mutual desperation to ensure President Bola Tinubu did not return to office in 2027.

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja, titled “Atiku, Obi united by mutual desperation said, after the Supreme Court affirmed Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 election, Atiku called for unity among major opposition parties, as well as his readiness to lead a coalition against Tinubu in 2027.

Reacting to the planned coalition, Morka acknowledged that the meeting of the political allies had further heightened the speculations of a possible alliance between both men and their political parties ahead of 2027.
