The LP was reacting to a proposal by PDP's Atiku Abubakar that opposition parties merge to defeat the ruling APC in the next presidential election.

The Labour Party (LP) says it has no plan to merge with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

LP’s spokesman, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement on Thursday, said his party just concluded the 2023 presidential election episode and a post mortem was yet to hold.

Ifoh said the way forward for the party has not been discussed and “when we do, Nigerians will be properly informed”.

The LP was reacting to a proposal by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was the PDP flag bearer in the February poll, that opposition parties merge to defeat the ruling APC in the next presidential election.

Atiku, on Tuesday, had expressed concerns that Nigeria was moving towards a “one-party dictatorship” state and called on other opposition parties to come together to defeat the ruling APC.

Reacting in a statement on Thursday, the LP said Atiku’s call “was only a proposal and every Nigerian should be interested in making democracy work in Nigeria and that what we have presently is an autocracy”.

“There was no where in the response that the purported merger between LP and PDP was mentioned.” Ifoh emphasised.

Also, the ruling APC slammed Atiku, over the proposal, saying the ex-VP and his party failed at the polls since 2015 and have failed to offer credible opposition to Nigerians.

It's like the devil begging God to merge with him.
It's like dead meat seller begging me to merge my chicken franchise to his.

Hmmm nawa o

Even if all the others agree, that egotistical megalomanic narcissist Peter Obi will not.

LP will rather merge with APC than PDP. The real National Chairman, according to the court pronouncement, is Pa Lamidi Apapa. The Mr Obi's supporters will eventually move to the PDP they came from originally

Merge with PDP that have both Reno and Ben Murray Bruce who are twerking vigourously for APC?

Two losers party.

Losers

I think issue of merger at this point is still too early. Parties need to review the their performances against the immediate past elections, the various lessons to learn and the different adjustments and so on to be made before they start talking about next election and anything merger possibly. It's really quite early in my honest opinion. So LP may be correct.

LP japaa

😂 who merger help? Suffering and smiling is the order of the day. Selfishness in the heart Nigerians will never promote good governance. Tinubu will do his 8 years in power and other politician from the north will emerge in 2031. Nigeria people should sit tight and focus on their works and destinies .

LP japaa
PDP looking for antidote

How can I unlike this nonsense?

Only a merger can work,lp is not even ready to prepare for the next election,they are all depending on one man in the party. I pity em....

Yes it is early talking about merger but that is the only way to have a strong opposition. The ruling party is as strong as when PDP was the ruling party under obj.....

Confused parties.

Association of losers, even with the merge, they will fail as usual.

LP and PDP merging to fight APC is like the sudden friendship between Herod and Pilate because they want to condemn Jesus.

FAILURES coming together.

They will always go back to their vomit.

Obi Pandora and his oga sense don dey reverse after losijg.
