The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it would not be negotiating a coalition or a merger with any other opposition party.
Debo Ologunagba, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, affirmed the party’s position over the phone with Newsmen.
Since the majority of parties are PDP alumni, Ologunagba claims there is no reason for it to engage in negotiations with any other party.

He went on to say that due process would be followed if the parties held such a debate.
Ologunagba said, “The PDP is the most organized and democratic party to exist in Nigeria to this day.
“Most other parties originated from the PDP. We did not and have not entered into any negotiations, nor have we had any talks for a coalition or merger, so-called, with any political party.
“In any case, if there is to be any such discussion, it is beyond the powers of the National Working Committee NWC to do so without the express consent of the National Executive Committee NEC of our great party.
“Every community in Nigeria has a functional PDP office. We are a party to due process; we don’t take action without following our laid-down guidelines, procedures, and processes.
