Reacting to the development in a statement on Thursday, Usman described the reported move as politically suicidal for the opposition party, questioning what the PDP would gain from supporting the APC while competing against it in state elections.

He argued that the support for the APC would not make meaningful outcome for the party and will not serve the interest of members.

Usman said: “The question is, will the APC vote for the candidates of the PDP in the state elections? If not, what is the gain for the PDP as a political party in this kind of weird and politically suicidal arrangement?

“It is, at best, a bizarre rainbow which will not make rain.”
