Ahead Of 2027, Obi Denies Pact Between LP, PDP, NNPP

As politicking for the 2027general election begins to kick into gear, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has denied reports of any merger between the LP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) or any other party.

The former Anambra State governor stated this on Thursday morning in a press conference in Abuja on the state of the nation.

He added that no agreement has been established with other parties yet. He rallied all lovers of Nigeria in the political space to come together in 2027 and defeat the All-Progressives Congress (APC), which he accused of mismanaging the country’s resources.

Also, Obi described the security situation in the country as unfortunate, saying Nigerians die needlessly due to banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping-for-ransom.

He said the level of corruption in Nigeria remained high and so is the cost of governance which has led to an astronomical increase in public debt under the current administration of President Bola Tinubu of the APC.
