Post created on 4:39 pm

Amid speculations that the judgment of the presidential election petition tribunal might resort to a re-run election as Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Peter Obi have open talks for a merger.

In a report by ThisDay, the conversations between the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and the Labour Party (LP) have been ongoing in the background for a while.

A source revealed that the trio of Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso would resort to a merger in 2027 if the tribunal judgement goes south.

Reports revealed that talks kicked off between Atiku and Kwankwaso and later transcended into a meeting between Obi and other stakeholders of the PDP.

Meanwhile, sources privy to the meeting revealed that the opposition leaders were in high expectations that the tribunal would be just and fair in its verdict to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Similarly, the source revealed that these leaders were hopeful that a rerun might ensue, which might likely trigger a merger to wrestle power from the APC and President Tinubu.
