There has been no alliance or party formation talk between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman Walid Jibrin, said yesterday.
According to him, reports suggesting alliance talks by the Ahmed Makarfi-camp of the PDP with Tinubu and some prominent chieftains of the APC emanated from the imagination of mischief makers.
The disputed report also mentioned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and Senator Aliyu Wamakko as part of the alleged talks.
But the PDP BoT chair said the party had never contemplated teaming up with Tinubu and other APC chieftains with the purpose of forming another political party.
Jibrin said: “I salute Tinubu’s courage for coming out to speak frankly about his position regarding this unfounded rumour and for setting the record straight.
“In Tinubu’s own reaction denouncing the report, he condemned the PDP and I can’t understand why anybody would think that we are going to form a new party with somebody who has been condemning us.
