Peter Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso In Talks To Merge and Challenge Tinubu In 2027

Political analyst and economist, Pat Utomi, has said a plan by opposition leaders is in motion to form a mega party ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Utomi said the mega party will challenge and possibly displace the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Utomi noted that he was in talks with the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, respectively, about the possible merger.

The LP chieftain added that Nigeria is degenerating because none of the political parties was ready to give the country a clear direction.

He said, “We are looking at a way Nigeria can work for everybody.

Let us build a political party that can bring the issues to the forefront for all the Nigerian people to have a kind of consensus to solve problems.

“If we have that consensus, we would have Nigerians who can provide leadership positions. And the positions would not be about what they would get for themselves, because this narcissism is a cancer that is tearing Nigerian politics down.

What we need are people who can sacrificially give up themselves to build a country and the possible reward is immortality.

I talked to some presidential candidates in the last election. “We had conversations with Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, among others as some of those who would probably constitute the mega party.
