Labour Party (LP) says it is not interested in merger with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other opposition.
Labour Party made this claim after the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, called for merger of all opposition parties against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)
Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Ifoh said it is purely a news item twisted and sensationalised by a section of the media to embarrass the party.
In hisis words: “In my reaction, I said that it was only a proposal that every Nigerian should be interested in making democracy work and that what we have presently is an autocracy.
“There was nowhere in the response that the purported merger between LP and PDP was mentioned,” he said.
Ifoh said that LP had just concluded the 2023 general election episode and a post-mortem was yet to be held.
He said that the way forward for the party had not been discussed.
“When we do, Nigerians will be properly informed,” he said.
