Labour Party Presidential Candidate. Mr. Peter Obi, has reacted to him being in talks with other presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Kwankwaso, for a possible merger to unseat the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu.
Peter Obi while speaking at a mega rally in Edo State ahead of the local government elections in the state, told hundreds of Labour party supporters that many of the things they are hearing everywhere were rumours.
While assuring his party members of his commitment to the party, he said:
“Labour Party will continue to grow. We will continue to go stronger (and) better. Half of the things you are hearing everywhere are rumours, don’t listen to them. We are committed to building a better and a new Nigeria where we will move Nigeria from consumption to production”.
There had been insinuations that Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso met to discuss the possibility of a merger to wrestlr power from President Tinubu and the APC.
It was rumoured that the three leaders had decided to wait and watch the outcome of the election petitions in court, to their next move.
