The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently holding a meeting with leaders of over 30 political parties in Abuja.
The meeting, which is ongoing at the Shehu Musa Yaradua Centre in the Federal Capital Territory, is convened less than 225 days to the general elections.
Leaders of political parties in attendance include that of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo-backed African Democratic Congress (ADC), Social Democratic Party of Nigeria (SDP), National Conscience Party (NCP), Labour Party, and a host of other newly registered parties.
Some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who broke out of the ruling party to form the Reformed APC are also present.
PDP National Chairman Uche Secondus, Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, R-APC Chairman Buba Galadima, and the lawmaker representing Kogi West, Senator Dino Melaye, are among the prominent politicians at the meeting.
The objective of the meeting is to form a grand alliance for a singular presidential candidate that will wrestle power from the APC in the forthcoming presidential election.
