ACN,ANPP,CPC Irrevocably Commiteed To Merger- Tinubu

The grand merger of leading opposition parties is waiting to be formalised by June, National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu said yesterday

This is the second time in one week that a major player in the planned merger aimed at flushing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of power in 2015 will confirm the status of the talks.
Leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Gen. Muhammadu Buhari last week said the marriage of the ACN and the CPC would take off in June.
Tinubu, who also said a new party would be announced in June, spoke at the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo.
He spoke after a tour of the burnt areas of the palace where about 21 rooms, some of them belonging to the wives of the Alaafin, and many artefacts were affected.
Tinubu said the AC N, the CPC and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) were “irrevocably” committed to the merger.
In the team were Akande; National Vice-Chairman (Southwest), Alhaji Tajudeen Olusi and the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed. They were led to the palace by Ajimobi. Chief Ayo Adebanjo, an elder statesman joined them later.
“I assure the general public that this time around, we are again restating the fact that we are irrevocably committed; mark my word, irrevocably committed to the merger, making it become one party, one platform with shared vision and commitment to rescue Nigeria from the jaw of the drifting ship of this administration.
“We, as leaders, must be ready to make sacrifices, be ready to bring our character and value together to ensure that we build an understanding that will bring good governance. It is not about us. It is about the country. It is about commitment to democracy and value. That is what we are doing.”
