• The Labour Party's campaign council has made its stand clear on the alleged collaboration between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar

Atiku had revealed that he is in touch with two of his rivals ahead of the national elections.

The former vice president disclosed this while speaking to journalists recently.

He said he has reached out to the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian People Party (NNPP) Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi for possible support.

The 76-year-old politician, however, said the duo of Obi and Kwankwaso are not in any way a threat to his chances to emerge Nigeria's next president.
