According to a Premium Times report, leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are plotting to change their name and merge with smaller parties who possess similar ideologies following its loss at the recent national elections.   

A source reportedly said the PDP is planning to merge with the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Labour Party, Kowa, Hope Party and others to form a mega opposition party to challenge the APC.

“There will be a special convention after the handover on May 29 where a formal merger process will start,” he said

Governors Sule Lamido, Godswill Akpabio, Muazu Aliyu and a few other governors are championing the push towards forming an alliance with other parties, it is believed.
