Proposed merger of opposition parties is to genuinely serve Nigerians — Utomi
Professor Pat Utomi, a political economist, has said that his proposed merger of opposition parties to wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027 is not for ‘machine politics’ but for genuine service to the people.
Utomi, who is the Convener of the National Consultative Front (NCFront) and the BIG TENT, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday that the proposed merger party was not a hurried coupling together of interests.
He was reacting to comments by the Deputy National Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru, on his merger plans.
Ripples Nigeria recalls that Utomi had said that three presidential candidates in the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of Labour Party (LP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), had agreed to form a formidable party that would sack the APC in 2027.
According to Utomi, after having a conversation with the three political heavyweights, he agreed to form a mega party that would take over the country’s leadership.
