Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in the 2023 election has denied rumours of planned merger between the party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
BusinessDay reports that Obi, while addressing journalists in Abuja on Thursday, described the rumour as unfounded.
Obi, who was the running mate to former Vice president Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 election, dumped the PDP in 2023 to pick the LP Presidential ticket.
Since then, however, the social bond between Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi has grown very strong with both going for public functions together.
Only recently, Obi delivered the Special lecture at the American University, Yola, owned by the former vice President, fueling more speculations that they may have decided to work together ahead of the 2027 general election.
