Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has set forth specific conditions for considering a merger between his party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2027 elections.

In an interview with NoireTV over the weekend, Obi highlighted that any merger must prioritize the greater good of Nigeria.

Addressing a statement by Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate and former vice president, who suggested the possibility of a merger, Obi insisted that such an alliance should focus on enhancing governance and assisting the poor, rather than merely seeking electoral victory or control of the state.

“I commend Atiku for his statement, especially where he said he will support me if it goes to the South East,” Obi said.

“On the issue of a merger and the coming together of parties, I have always said that as long as any merger or any coming together is to better Nigeria and for governing properly, I am for it.

“If it is just a merger for election or state capture, I’m not for it. I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to see Nigeria work, especially for the poor, because we have a lot of potential.”

Obi further elaborated on his conditions, stating, “So, if the merger is to be able to govern Nigeria properly on all those things that will make Nigeria a better place, I am for it.

“If the merger is to be able to govern Nigeria properly and work for all those things that would make Nigeria become a better place, I am for it.

“It might be at the party level, it might be at the individual level or at any level, we must come together to be able to build a better Nigeria.”
