Atiku, Obi Not In Talks- LP Campaign Organization

The Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation has denied there are ongoing talks between the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi,  and the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over a possible alliance.

Atiku had hinted at his readiness to work with Obi and the New Nigerian People Party’s candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, after meeting with the duo to support his ambition in the forthcoming election.

In a reaction to Atiku’s claim on Wednesday, Obi-Datti campaign organisation spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, said those making the alliance claim are just trying to exploit Obi’s popularity.

“As of yesterday, before we left Numan, there was nothing of such nature. We are busy with campaigns. We are not aware of anything like an alliance.

“I think somebody is just trying to cash out on the Obi-Datti ticket. We are right now campaigning in Sokoto and we will be in Zamfara.”
