The Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation has disclosed that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is not in talks with the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over a possible alliance.

The PUNCH reports that Atiku hinted at his readiness to work with Obi and the New Nigerian People Party’s candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, after meeting with the duo to support his ambition in the forthcoming election.

Atiku made this known in a 15-minute interview with BBC Hausa service on Tuesday.

Speaking with the interviewer in the Hausa language, Atiku said both Obi and Kwankwaso were not a threat to his chances of winning at the February 25 poll.

“Although I see no threat in any of them, we are in talks, and the discussion might yield a positive result that will see one of them coming.”

But reacting to the claim on Wednesday in an exclusive chat with The PUNCH, the Obi-Datti campaign organisation spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, said those making the alliance claim are just trying to exploit Obi’s popularity.

“As of yesterday, before we left Numan, there was nothing of such nature. We are busy with campaigns. We are not aware of anything like an alliance.

“I think somebody is just trying to cash out on the Obi-Datti ticket. We are right now campaigning in Sokoto and we will be in Zamfara.”

Efforts to get the spokesperson for the New Nigeria Peoples Party were futile as he did not pick up his calls as of the time of filing this report.

fuckingAyaya:
Obi will win the election but Tinubu will not agree with the outcome of the election which will result in serious chaos in Lagos state. Federal government will be forced to station armoured tankers in almost every part of Lagos state because some group of people/touts will attack and destroy Igbo people businesses nd properties in Lagos. So I urge everyone of you to stock ur house with enough food stuffs because hmmm ......... The vision was clear.😢

I am a member of the PDP national working committee, and I can testify that Obi is currently in talks about stepping down for his Boss ,Atiku.

Obi will step down latest February 14, which is a Valentine Day. Forget about what Labour party are talking. There is always an atom of truth in every speculation.

Peter is our boy and he will step down for his senior brother on the 14th of February. You can bank on what i have written here

Atiku is the next president

Obi won't go that low.
If anybody must collapse their structure, that would be Atiku. Atiku and Tinubu are political businessmen. It is easier for The deep lekki sea port to pass through the eye of a needle than for Tinubu or Atiku not to steal at least $50m in their first three days in office.

Tinubu that referred to Atiku as Senate president. I just hope he doesn't call his wife his mother in law.

In Tinubu's voice "If Atiku says Walahi Talai, he means" na lie I lie 🤣🤣🤣🤣
