Recall that the National Consultative Forum’s spokesman, Yinusa Tanko, said the LP and NNPP were planning to merge in 2023 to defeat the APC and PDP.
According to Yinusa Tanko, combining the two parties is a concept they’ve seen on the ground, and they feel Obi, who is already well-established in the south, needs to collaborate with Kwankwaso, a powerful figure in the north.
The two former governors, according to Tanko, have shown character, resilience, and determination while working closely with the poor.
