Rabiu Kwankwaso has confirmed that discussion is ongoing over the possibility of his party, the New Nigeria People Party merging with the Labour Party and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi towards next year’s general election.
Kwankwaso, who is the presidential candidate of NNPP, said:
“It is true we are in talks with Peter Obi and a committee is working to look into how to form a merger between us.
“Friends and family are being up and doing talking about the merger arrangement.”
The former Kano governor added that the merger became important because both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not pick their running mates from the South-east.
