Former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, has been cautioned against alleged plan to form merger between Labour Party, LP, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-political organization, cautioned the LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against accepting any arrangement that would make him a running mate of NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Reports had it that the two opposition party are planning on working together ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Reacting, Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in a statement said Obi would lose his popularity if he accepted to be Kwankwaso’s running mate.
His statement reads partly: “The merging arrangements between the Labour Party and New Nigeria People’s Party will strengthen the chances of Obi/ Kwankwaso occupying Aso Rock.
“The headache for the Labour Party is never to accept the Vice Presidential position for Obi, any arrangements that would see Obi as a running mate to Kwankwaso will end up the popularity of the Labour Party.
“Mr. Peter Obi is the New Nigeria’s candidate, and Kwakwaso is a regional champion who should serve as the running mate”
