Jibrin denies NNPP in merger talks with PDP, others
A member representing the Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency in the House of Representatives on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abdulmumin Jibrin has denied merger talks with opposition parties led by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Jibrin in a statement he signed on behalf of NNPP House Caucus described thr merger news as a blatant lie.
According to him, while the NNPP is open to “collaboration, alliance and even merger” with any party, no talks of such are presently ongoing.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a widely circulated message on some sections of the media that our great party, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) is currently in talks with the PDP and other political parties for possible coalition.
“There is no element of truth in this. It’s a blatant lie. Our party has consistently maintained a neutral stand that we are open to collaboration, alliance and even merger with the APC, PDP, LP and any other political party.
“However, there is presently no talk whatsoever that is ongoing and the party did not attend any meeting to discuss coalition or merger with the PDP or any other party. It is an act of mischief makers and should be regarded as such.”
