Reports, however, emerging during the weekend claimed that Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso are working on an alliance to wrest power from the ruling APC.

It was further asserted that the extent of their agreement to work together is still in the early stages, as it also depends on the eventual outcome of the 2023 presidential election tribunal in which the victory of President Bola Tinubu is being challenged.

Reacting to the reports via his Twitter page on Monday morning, Senator Shehu Sani said the rumoured claims of opposition parties planning to merge into one mega party is good for Nigeria’s democracy.

The former Kaduna Central federal lawmaker said the opposition parties appeared to have learned their lessons after defeats against the ruling APC in the just-concluded elections.

Sani wrote, “The speculation that the opposition are planning to unite is good for democracy; now they are studying geography after the earthquake.”
