The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic organisation, or PDP, has stated that it is not in talks of merging, fusion, or amalgamating with any other political organisation.
This occurs while Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s nominee for president in 2023, is in talks to create an alliance with Peter Obi of the Labour Party and other major groups.
However, the former Obi-Datti presidential campaign council spokesman Yunusa Tanko has stated that Obi is not interested in any union that aims to obtain political power.

Nonetheless, PDP stated that it was willing to accept members who had defected to other political parties back into the fold.
This was declared by the PDP NWC on Tuesday following its 587th meeting in Abuja.
A statement by PDP’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, reads: “While the PDP, as a truly people’s Party, is open and welcoming to all Nigerians including our former members who left for other parties, we state that our Party remains strong and formidable, capable of winning elections in a free, fair and transparent electoral process in our country.
“The NWC acknowledges the influx of millions of Nigerians into our Party in the on-going Party Membership Drive in all the Electoral Wards across the country; which further confirms that the PDP remains the Party of choice for majority of Nigerians.

“The public, teeming members of our great Party, Democracy Institutions and of course the International Community should therefore disregard any report suggesting any form of merger between the PDP and any other political Party as such is not in the contemplation of our great Party.”
