FCT, Abuja – A former member of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Yusuf, said he does not see the possibility of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar working together in the 2027 presidential election.
Yusuf ruled out the possibility of an alliance between the presidential candidates of the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election.
He stated said on Mondayâs edition of Channels Televisionâs Politics Today on May, 27.
The former federal lawmaker explained that Atikuâs comment after the closed-door meeting with Obi makes the planned alliance difficult to birth.
Yusuf added that he thinks Atiku and Obi may contest the 2027 presidential election which makes talks of a merger difficult.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Atiku’s recent meeting with Obi was described as mere two friends playing host to each other.
PDP chieftain Rilwan Olanrewaju, in an interview with TimesNow.com.ng, said he did not see any permutation in their meetings because 2027 was still far.
Olanrewaju noted that the ruling APC was spreading the rumour of them working together in the 2027 election
