During an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Atiku had said that alliance between him and Peter Obi is possible, and that they can merge to achieve a common goal.
He added that if his party’s presidential ticket is zoned to the South-East and Peter Obi is chosen, he would not hesitate to support him.

In the statement he released on Tuesday, APC spokesman, Felix Morka, said that Peter Obi’s recent visit to Atiku has fueled speculations of a possible alliance between both men or a merger of their political parties in the lead-up to the 2027 election.
