As reported by The Punch, Mr. Obi emphasized that his primary concern is not personal ambition or political manoeuvring for the well-being of Nigeria and its people.
He said:
Regarding the potential merger between the PDP and LP, Obi expressed openness to the idea, provided that the goal is to improve governance in Nigeria and unlock its vast potential, BusinessDay reported.
He said:
Obi clarified that he is not interested in mergers or alliances solely for the sake of securing power or winning elections.

The former Anambra State governor emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation among individuals and parties, but only if the goal is to build a better Nigeria.
