The chairman of the SDP, Shehu Gabam told newsmen after the meeting that the coalition is not against the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC).

IPAC is a platform for political parties to address shared concerns, exchange best practises, and strive for consensus on national issues.

Also, the acting National Secretary of the PDP, Setonji Koshoedo, who represented the acting party’s National Chairman, Umar Damagum, said the coalition wants to offer strong opposition for the good of Nigeria.

They further stated in the statement that the agreement among them should not be seen as a merger but rather a coalition.

Last month former Vice President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, who was defeated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu called for a merger of opposition parties against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
