Barring any last-minute change in plan, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might field a joint presidential candidate with the Olu Falae- led Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) against President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) recently fused into ADC.

It was also learnt that the PDP is ready to hand over its structures in some states to some governors who are likely to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition party.


New Telegraph gathered that the political parties involved in the likely pact are opposed to a merger, but they are ready to dissolve their structures for a unified presidential candidate. “Talks are on over the possibility of a joint platform in 2019 among the PDP, ADC, SDP and other political movements.

This arrangement is akin to what happened in 1999 when the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and the defunct All Peoples Party (APP) fielded a joint candidate in Chief Olu Falae without losing their identities. Falae eventually got over 11 million votes. “What they want to do is quite strategic.

The ADC is likely to be the face of the presidential alliance because of the party’s standing on the ballot, it is just ahead of the ruling APC,” a source told New Telegraph.
A source privy to the discussions going on between the three political parties revealed that the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State will be a dress rehearsal of the working agreement among the parties.

They should continue cancelling themselves out. Bubu's victory is assured.

Anyone but buhari is a welcome development in 2019, even a person without brain. A dummy is 1 million times far better than a covert terrorist. Sending Terrorist Buhari back to daura enroute ICC is a Sacred Task that must be done.

Shut Up, If Your APC Is That Confident, Why Are They Advising Nigerians Not To Vote Him Out in 2019, Dummy.

I Am With You and Many Nigerians Will Agree To This Easily, Buhari Has Failed Woefully. Their Anti Corruption Fight is Also A Monumental Failure Since The Fight Is One Sided.
