The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, says he’s engaged in negotiations with the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, and the Labour Party presidential flag-bearer, Peter Obi, over a possible alliance.
Atiku disclosed this in an interview with BBC Hausa service.
The PDP presidential flag-bearer said neither Obi nor Kwankwaso poses any threat to his chances in the election.
“I see no threat because we are not together with them (Kwankwaso and Obi). We are in talk with them, one of them may possibly come,” he said.
Also speaking on the lingering PDP crisis, Atiku said, “Each party has its internal crisis, we are still talking with them. Most are neither in PDP nor in other parties and definitely that will not make us lose the election because we are okay.
“Election now is not like in the past when a governor will dictate who to vote for, election today is in the hands of the voters.”
He however promised to open all of Nigeria’s borders if elected president in the February general elections.
