2023: Peter Obi May Collapse Structure Into NNPP, To Run Joint Ticket With Kwankwaso

Indications have emerged that former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, is likely going to collapse his political structure into the New Nigerian Peoples Party, (NNPP).

BIGPENNGR.COM reports that moves to merge forces with NNPP is coming barely few hours after dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, where he was a frontline presidential aspirant.

Obi, a leading aspirant in the 2023 presidential election had earlier resigned his membership of the PDP on Wednesday.

Obi’s decision to quit the PDP was first conveyed to the Chairman of Aguta Ward 2, Anambra LGA, in Anambra State, last Friday, May 20, 2022, according to report in PRNigeria.

His official resignation from the main opposition (today) was however contained in a letter addressed to the Party’s National Chairman, Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, which Politics Digest obtained.

Credible sources hinted Politics Digest, a publication of PRNigeria that the former Anambra Governor has been penciled down to become the running mate of Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, if his eventual defection into the party sails through.

It is however not clear at the time of filing this report who will be presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate between Obi and Kwankwaso if the ongoing meeting is fruitful.
