APC dismisses merger talks as Obi visits LP secretariat

Barely a week to the first anniversary of President Bola Tinubu-led administration, the drumbeats of 2027 politics have started rolling with political realignments that may have far-reaching effects on the ruling All Progressives Congress .

They also urged aggrieved party members to sheath their swords and consider the survival of the party and Nigerians first above all other interests. The ruling party said the duo are united by their mutual desperation to be president of Nigeria and their alleged disdain for President Tinubu’s administration.

“Men without the staying power to build or fix their parties, who flee at the slightest flicker of internal crisis cannot possibly be trusted by Nigerians to tackle serious and complex national, political and economic challenges that confront our nation. He said the leadership of the party was gradually restructuring it into a truly grassroots progressive party.

In a telephone conversation with The Guardian, Ifoh said the party is not unaware of the meetings Obi had held with Atiku, it is still the expectation of members that Obi will find time to brief the party. “Nigerians have been looking for someone who is different in political and governance ideology from the PDP and APC; they got that in Obi and the big boys in APC and PDP are not comfortable,” the source stressed.

“You know that they are living in borrowed robes there. We are taking back the states in the Southeast that were stolen from us. Politically, the move helps to destabilise David Umahi and Hope Uzodimma structures.” He pointed out that the government should endeavour to resolve “problems that have remained dire, acute or even chronic in some places in the North in particular.

Lukman remarked that against every expectation that President Tinubu will reignite the Lagos success story at the national level, his government is more and more creating doubts in the minds of Nigerians about the prospect of resolving the country’s challenges with incidences of policy missteps and reversals.
