However, there has not been a concrete move to suggest a merger.But in a statement on Sunday, Mr Okechukwu said the circumstances on the ground that will make it possible for opposition political parties to forge a formidable coalition to oust the APC like the PDP was defeated in 2015 differ remarkably.

“Luckily, Mr President has with his economic reforms, won the confidence of the international community. All he needs is to domesticate his economic programme to benefit the greatest number of Nigerians.” “Secondly, unlike President Muhammadu Buhari, whose rising tide of expectations was high at inception on issues like anti-graft war and economic empowerment, that of Tinubu is starkly low.
