Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has claimed that he would be meeting with the candidates of the New Nigerian People Party, NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso; and Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, to support his ambition in the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n

Atiku disclosed this during an interview with BBC Hausa on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Responding to questions in the Hausa language, Atiku boasted that both Obi and Kwankwaso are not threats to his chances of emerging victorious at the February 25 poll.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough, I see no threat in any of them (Obi and Kwankwaso) but we are in talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussion might yield a positive result that will see one of them coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atiku also addressed the lingering crisis within the PDP.<\/p>\n

According to him, every party has its internal crisis, and theirs will be resolved soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach party has its internal crisis, we are still talking with them. Definitely that will not make us lose the election because we are okay with the election preparations for now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
