You’ll Fail in Your Merger – Tinubu Tells Atiku, Obi
President Bola Tinubu has reacted to the rumoured merger of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party ahead of the next general elections in 2027.
There have been speculations that both Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s candidate and Peter Obi of the Labour Party working together by collapsing their structure for the next presidential election.
Obi had visited Atiku and kept mum about the rare visit. Both have indicated readiness to work together although the PDP has said that there’s no plan for any merger.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temitope Ajayi said that Tinubu is unfazed by the rumour as his principal would still get the mandate of the people.
He said, “The President is focused on governance and delivering on his agenda to make the country better and prosperous for her citizens. We should not be a country that is perpetually in election mode and politicking.
“President Tinubu can never be bothered about any plot by the opposition. I think the media should help the country to focus on governance and stop giving undue oxygen to politicking.
We know politicians will always play politics but the media can also help moderate things so that the business of governance, which is making life better for the citizens can get better traction.”
