Legit.ng recalls that in May, the federal government dismissed the alleged planned alliance between former vice president Atiku Abubakar and ex-governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi.
According to the presidency, Tinubu is not bothered about the planned alliance, noting that the president was not losing sleep over alliance plots by Atiku and Obi.
Atiku had contested the presidency in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but lost. Obi also contested as a presidential candidate on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) and came third in the election.
Obi and Atiku have held at least one private meeting in 2024.
Why Atiku may support Obi
Earlier, Legit reported that Atiku hinted at working with Obi to defeat President Tinubu and the ruling APC come 2027.
The former vice president said a merger between the PDP and the LP was possible.
Atiku further dismissed the insinuation that the choice of a presidential candidate would frustrate the merger, adding that such an issue would not even arise, as he expressed optimism that the merger would come and stay.
