Atiku Abubakar: PDP Open To Forming An Alliance With LP’s Obi

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said he is open to an alliance with his counterpart from Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.

Atiku Abubakar Finally Speaks After Presidential Poll

Atiku Abubakar stated this during a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.

Atiku Abubakar’s comment comes a day after Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was declared the winner of Saturday’s exercise.

Recall that Kanyi Daily reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu announced Bola Tinubu as the winner of the poll some minutes past 4 am on Wednesday at the National Collation Centre in Abuja.

“That Tinubu Bola Ahmed of the APC, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and is returned elected,” Professor Yakubu declared in an announcement.

While the PDP and LP have rejected the outcome of the poll, Atiku, who ran alongside Obi in the 2019 election, says he is open to working with the former Anambra State governor.

This is a developing story. More details shortly…
