No Plans for Merger with Any Political Party- PDP

The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic organisation, or PDP, has stated that it is not in talks of merging, fusion, or amalgamating with any other political organisation.

This occurs while Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s nominee for president in 2023, is in talks to create an alliance with Peter Obi of the Labour Party and other major groups.

However, the former Obi-Datti presidential campaign council spokesman Yunusa Tanko has stated that Obi is not interested in any union that aims to obtain political power.

Nonetheless, PDP stated that it was willing to accept members who had defected to other political parties back into the fold.

This was declared by the PDP NWC on Tuesday following its 587th meeting in Abuja.

“As a truly people’s Party, the PDP is open and welcoming to all Nigerians, including our former members who left for other parties,” according to a statement released by the party’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba: “We state that our Party remains strong and formidable, capable of winning elections in a free, fair, and transparent electoral process in our country.”

The majority of Nigerians continue to support the PDP, as evidenced by the millions of people who have joined our party during the ongoing Party Membership Drive in every electoral ward in the nation, according to the NWC.

“Any report suggesting any form of merger between the PDP and any other political Party should be ignored by the public, the throngs of members of our great Party, Democracy Institutions, and of course the International Community, as such is not in the contemplation of our great Party.”
