Dead before birth therefore moribund from inception. Alliance makes more sense. Any merger with Buhari as a key stakeholder is bound to fail because of his desperation, inordinate ambition and overbloated rating on the scale of trpnasarency. He is a diehard northern hegemonist and never an apostle of regionalism/ true federalism where equity and justice reign supreme with zero tolerance for federal character nonsense. He is out for vengeance against real and imaginary foes rather than a course of national redemption.
