A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Osita Chidoka has disclosed that Atiku Abubakar, the party's presidential candidate, has urged his party members to deepen engagement with the Labour Party (LP).

Mr Chidoka, a former Aviation Minister, shared photos he took while meeting with the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi after his meeting with Atiku on Wednesday, March 29.

He wrote in the caption: “At 8 am today I met with Atiku Abubakar and he asked that we deepen our engagement with LP.

“At 6pm I met with my brother Peter Obi at his campaign office where he has been since 8am and still plan to be till 10pm.

“Interesting how the erstwhile candidates are out and about pursuing their goals towards a better Nigeria.”

Chidoka did not disclose the details of the engagement.

Atiku came second in the February 25 elections while the presidential candidate of the LP, Peter Obi, who defected from the PDP, came third.

Both PDP and LP are challenging the outcome of the February 25 election at the Presidential Election Petition Court.
