The Labour Party has welcomed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s call for opposition parties to merge and oust the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
You will recall that Atiku, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had suggested that opposition parties should enter a merger to dislodge the APC from power in 2027.
The former vice president made the suggestion while hosting the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC) in his Abuja residence on Monday.
The PDP flagbearer warned against the likelihood of Nigeria slipping into a one-party state.
Reportedly Reacting to the proposition in an interview with the punch, the acting National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, described Atiku’s merger proposal as a good one that should be considered.
Ifoh asserted that every Nigerian who is interested in having a true democracy should give the proposal a good thought.
