Atiku Offers Obi An Offer Of Alliance, Amidst The Dispute In Presidential Poll

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has offered to his Labour Party’s counterpart, Peter Obi, the formation of  an alliance.

Atiku said he was ready to negotiate the deal if Peter Obi was interested.

The PDP candidate made the offer at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja, where he rejected the results of the presidential poll, and indicted readiness to challenge it in court.

Peter Obi, according to Atiku was in a hurry to become a president, adding that he still lacks the national spread to actualize his ambition.

He admits that Peter Obi cleared the PDP votes in the South East and South Zones, but, according to him no zone could produce a president on its own.

Atiku said he had been telling his Ndigbo friends that to produce a president, a zone must negotiate for power and not fight for it.

The PDP candidate said Peter Obi got scared of the PDP governors, who were insisting on the slots of the president, vice president and chief of staff, on the eve of the party’s presidential primaries, and left for the Labour Party.

Atiku, however, said he stayed put in the PDP, fought the governors to pick the ticket, and that he would have picked Peter Obi as his running mate if he had remained in the PDP.
