Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi are reportedly in talks to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), according to Adewole Adebayo, the SDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.

Adebayo revealed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, where he shared that discussions are ongoing through close associates of both Atiku and Obi. He mentioned that the SDP is open to welcoming them into the fold.

He added that the party had recently admitted a former governor from Kaduna State, who is also a key member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a shift in the political landscape. Adebayo emphasized that the SDP is experiencing growth as more individuals join, but there is a need for a cultural shift in politics, particularly regarding internal rules and procedures.

When asked directly about Obi’s potential move to the SDP, Adebayo confirmed that while talks are taking place, nothing is official until a formal announcement is made. He mentioned that he had received updates from party officials, including the Financial Secretary, about the ongoing discussions.

Adebayo also stressed that the SDP would only accept politicians who align with the party’s values and adhere to its democratic processes. “If they are willing to follow our transparent and credible internal processes, we can work together to offer Nigerians a real alternative,” he added.

Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.

He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.

According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.

The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
