đąIt Is Too Early To Start Talking 2027 Politics in 2023!
Months after the 2023 Presidential Election, labour Party Leadership through their spokesperson has boosted that LP will merge with other political parties to form a strong basis to wrest power from the leading All Progressives Congress.
Labour Party has also described, Atiku Abubakarâs merger proposal as a good proposal that should be considered.
But the NNPP said it could only accept the proposal if Atiku would support Rabiu Kwankwaso, to wrest power from the APC in 2027.
The acting National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, said âAtikuâs call is a proposition, and every Nigeria will consider a good proposition that is meant to remove the Octopus in power because they are not democrats.
âEvery Nigerian is interested in having a true democracy. What we have now is far away from democracy. So, if there is a preposition by opposition elements to ensure that democracy is installed, why not? That preposition must be given a good thought. Anything that will make Nigerians witness democracy is accepted.â
But the NNPP described Atikuâs call as emotional and medicine after death.
The partyâs National Publicity Secretary, Yakubu Shendam, said any merger being considered must be to support Kwankwaso to become President, otherwise, the NNPP was not interested.
Shendam said, âThis is like medicine after death. If there is any future collaboration, it should not be as a result of emotions. We are going all along because we have a gladiator who has the capacity to take over Nigeria.
âWe believe that there is a need to canvass for support from people to win the election, from all sides. However, we believe that single-handedly Kwankwaso can deliver Nigeria in 2027.
 âBut that doesnât mean that we are not looking for players like Atiku to join our party. If there is going to be a merger, it should be with the NNPP, because Atiku is now retiring, so, he should support Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.
âWe donât want to join forces with people who are under emotions but we are comfortable as a party having a person like Rabiu Kwankwaso, as our national leader.
We are calling on Atiku as an elder brother to close ranks with Kwankwaso if he wants to be relevant in 2027.â
Meanwhile, critiques have condemned such statement from political opposition while stating that it is too early to start talking 2027 politics.
