The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has announced its willingness to form an alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).The NNPP said it was willing to collaborate or form an alliance if it was in the national interest.

At a press conference held in response to former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's call for opposition political parties to band together and confront the APC, Abba Kawu Ali, national chairman of the NNPP, said the party's alliance was not limited to opposition parties, and that it was open to discussions with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“As we stated earlier, while we fully embrace this initiative and applaud it, as a matter of necessity, the NNPP is looking at this issue from a much larger perspective and considering all factors inherent in it,” Ali said of the call by Atiku Abubakar.

“Our party, without any iota of doubt, is open to collaboration, alliance and any arrangement with any of or all the political parties, including PDP, Labour Party, and APC, so long as such collaboration, alliance or arrangement will be in the utmost interest of the Nigerian people and the protection and consolidation of Nigeria’s democracy,” he said.
