The Obi-Datti Campaign Organisation has disclosed that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is not discussing a possible alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku during a BBC interview expressed his willingness to work with Obi and the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian People Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, after meeting with the duo to support his ambition in the forthcoming election.
Speaking with the interviewer in the Hausa language, Atiku said both Obi and Kwankwaso were not a threat to his chances of winning at the February 25 poll.
But reacting to the claim on Wednesday in an exclusive chat with Punch, the Obi-Datti campaign organisation spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, said those making the alliance claim are just trying to exploit Obi’s popularity.

“As of yesterday, before we left Numan, there was nothing of such nature. We are busy with campaigns. We are not aware of anything like an alliance.
“I think somebody is just trying to cash out on the Obi-Datti ticket. We are right now campaigning in Sokoto and we will be in Zamfara,” he said.
