In reaction to merger party plan, the ruling party of Nigeria, Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday declared that there was no threat for the party as the opposition parties are coming together. They described PDP as the best player of the nation’s polities.
In his reaction, the ruling party chairman, Dr Bamanga Tukur, told correspondents after inspecting the new national secretariat building under construction in Abuja, that the party is not afraid of the merger plan. “Merger party will make the party work harder” he said.
He said, there is no polling booth in the whole Nigeria where you will not find at least a PDP member. He referred the opposition parties as their charge to action, as he believed they will help the party to function well. He further said, “People tend to believe that when they see people coming together...If they have the strength why do they come together, why they come together?
“If you go for a contest, you have the striker. You know Lionel Messi? PDP is Messi (Barcelona football ace) in that contest. They (oppositions) are no threat at all. It is better, it inspires PDP to action. In that contest, tell them Chairman said PDP is the Messi.”
In his own reaction, Labour Party FCT Chairman on Wednesday, Mr Adejobi Peter said, Labour Party was not part of the ongoing merger talks, because similar exercises had never yielded any good result and said further only purposeful leadership could ensure Nigeria’s progress, not the planned merger of opposition parties (Nigeria Tribune).
