Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso Planning Merger Party for 2027 Polls, Says Utomi

As the 2027 general elections loom on the horizon, political maneuvering is already underway, setting the stage for potential alliances and shifts.

According to Professor Pat Utomi, a prominent political economist, there are strong indications that key figures from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) are in talks to create a formidable political entity aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In an exclusive interview, Professor Utomi revealed that notable candidates from the 2023 presidential election, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso, have reached a consensus to form a mega party. This strategic alliance aims to consolidate opposition forces and present a robust challenge to the incumbent APC.

Professor Utomi also delved into the historical context of political mergers, referencing the talks that led to the formation of the APC in 2014. Additionally, he shed light on his relationship with President Bola Tinubu, providing insights into the dynamics of political collaborations.
