Nigerians React As Atiku Set To Meet Peter Obi, Kwankwaso Over Tinubu
Nigerians have reacted to the report that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, may meet the presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and the New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Naija News earlier reported that Atiku may meet Obi and Kwankwaso to begin talks over an alliance against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that Peter Obi and Kwankwaso were members of the PDP before they defected to pursue their presidential aspirations.
It was gathered that Obi’s exit from the PDP would affect its vote in the South which was the main opposition party stronghold, also Kwankwaso’s emergence as the candidate of the NNPP will split the votes in the North, especially Kano.
Following the development, some Nigerians have taken to social media to express their views regarding the speculated meeting. Some supporters of Kwankwaso and Obi have rejected the alliance while others see it as a way to defeat Tinubu.
Below are some of the reactions.

The major move left for Peter Obi is for him to pick a strong running mate from the North, maybe Kwankwaso. It would take such big collaboration to defeat PDP and APC in 2023.

As Atiku wants to meet Peter Obi and Kwankwaso, the only thing I wish to hear is Kwankwaso agreeing to be Peters VP and Atiku sponsoring their campaign. Peter Obi/Kwankwaso. I don’t want to see atiku anywhere close to aso rock.

If they are not afraid of the tsunami called Peter Obi, why is Atiku planning to meet with Obi and Kwankwaso to discuss collaborations against the APC? I like Atiku sha, oga wan use brain but the only collabo I want to see is that of Obi x Kwankwaso.

I hear that Atiku wants to meet Obi and Kwankwaso to talk about collaboration.
Well collaboration won’t be a bad idea if they agree that Peter Obi will be their flag bearer and Kwankwaso his running mate.

If Kwankwaso aligns with Atiku. Make Apc forget am

Except this collaboration is not aimed at presenting Atiku or Kwankwaso as president, otherwise it's dead on arrival. Obi for president, Atiku for vice then Kwankwaso for minister of works. Anything other than this is a joke. https://t.co/wui67mtL86
