The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Working
Committee, NWC, has declared that its not engaged in any merger, fusion or
amalgamation talks with any other political party.
This is comes amid talks by PDP’s 2023 presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar of forming a coalition with his Labour Party
counterpart, Peter Obi and other political parties.
But, Yunusa Tanko, the spokesman of the defunct Obi-Datti
presidential campaign council, had said Obi is not interested in any merger
that is aimed at seeking political powers.
However, PDP expressed readiness to welcome back to its
fold, members who left for other political parties.
The PDP NWC stated this after its 587th meeting in Abuja on
Tuesday.
A statement by PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, reads: “While
the PDP, as a truly people’s Party, is open and welcoming to all Nigerians
including our former members who left for other parties, we state that our
Party remains strong and formidable, capable of winning elections in a
free,fair and transparent electoral process in our country.
“The NWC acknowledges the influx of millions of Nigerians
into our Party in the on-going Party Membership Drive in all the Electoral
Wards across the country; which further confirms that the PDP remains the Party
of choice for majority of Nigerians.
“The public, teeming members of our great Party, Democracy
Institutions and of course the International Community should therefore
disregard any report suggesting any form of merger between the PDP and any
other political Party as such is not in the contemplation of our great Party.”
