Abuja, Feb. 2, 2023 – Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has no any deal with Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate, on the 2023 Presidential Election.
Diran Onifade, the Head of Media, Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, has said.
Onifade said the claim that Obi was in talks with Atiku with a view to stepping down for the PDP Presidential candidate was “totally false and baseless.”
Atiku was reported to have said he was in talks with Obi and the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso ahead of this month’s presidential election.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by Onifade, the LP candidate was not in any talks with Atiku or anyone else with a view to stepping down from a race in which Obi is the frontrunner
“We have been inundated with enquiries about the claim of an ongoing discussion between our Presidential ticket and the camp of PDP’s Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
“For emphasis, we wish to repeat, as we have said all day, that the claim is totally false and baseless.
“We are not in any talks with Atiku or anyone else with a view to stepping down from a race in which we are the frontrunner,” the statement said. (GBN)
