One of the founding members of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prof. Jerry Gana, has revealed that the party is holding discussions with the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and other prominent southern politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former Minister of Information disclosed this during an interview on African Independent Television, AIT on Friday, on programme Focus Nigeria.
When asked to confirm the discussion with Obi, Gana said, “Yes, why not? He was our member. In fact, if I were the former Vice President, I would have in 2023 said, ‘No, Peter, you were my vice-presidential candidate in 2019. Now, I’ll support you.’ It would have been a strong statement.”
“I have met people. I have met him (Obi), and I have met people he would refer to, and I have sat with them for hours. We are moving step by step,” Gana said.
