The merger talks died the moment Kwankwaso’s representatives said there was nothing wrong with a northerner being President again after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari

The vice-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Doyin Okupe has said that discussions about an alliance between the party and the New Nigeria Political Party are dead.

According to him, the discussion of the parties to have an alliance has been dead for more than four weeks. He said the merger talks died the moment Kwankwaso’s representatives said there was nothing wrong with a northerner being President again after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, who’s also a northern Muslim like Kwankwaso.

“As far as I’m concerned, this discussion is over and it has remained over since then but we did not come to media because I respected those who we were discussing with. I never said anything, have never mentioned anything but this is the first time I’m publicly commenting on the matter and it’s because they have thrown it into the winds.”

“For a leader like Kwankwaso to come to national television and play a very dangerous negative ethnic card, talking about some people, northerners will not vote for an Igbo person and Kwankwaso is always in the habit of whenever he’s talking, it is always about the north. This is a man that is electorally restricted to Kano and that’s the problem; he’s judging everybody else in the north with the prism of what he sees in Kwankwasian movement in Kano, that’s all.

Expressing confidence in the chances of Labour Party and Peter Obi in the next presidential election, Okupe said Obi is going to take most of the votes from the southeastern part of the country, 45 percent votes from the southwest and get 25 percent votes at least 24 states in the country.

I only hear people talk about PO and BAT, Atiku don step down?

Undiluted truth

The fact that you guys think peter obi will win the next general election 🗳 is crazy 😂😭 cus majority of the voters don’t even know him 😩

It should really be DEAD and buried. Of they don't see anything wrong with their answer to Doyin question about having another president from the same place.

Nigeria is united in trade ,education ,location ,marriage and religion

Kwankwaso is clout chaser.... I feel his pain. Kwankwaso is greed.

Of course it's very true, that's why Obidients should stop mentioning Kwankwaso and his NNPP again.

They wan to Use Obi's name to gain clout. It's better how Mr Doyin put them to where they belong (Trenches).

Vintage Igbo! Predictable! Self opinionated! You guys should keep deluding yourselves!
