Labour Party’ s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, recently embarked on a series of undisclosed meetings with key figures from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sparking speculations regarding the future trajectory of Nigeria’ s opposition landscape leading up to the 2027 general elections.
Among the notable figures visited by Obi were former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido. These encounters, termed as ” private visits” by close associates, underscored the growing discourse within opposition circles.
Atiku, through his Twitter handle, first disclosed Obi’ s visit, expressing his pleasure in hosting the former Labour Party flagbearer. This rendezvous is reminiscent of their political alliance during the 2019 general elections when Obi served as Atiku’ s running mate on the PDP ticket, albeit unsuccessfully against former President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Despite the transparency surrounding Atiku’ s announcement, the specifics of the discussions held during these recent meetings remain undisclosed to the public. However, sources indicate that deliberations on the imperative for opposition consolidation ahead of the 2027 elections were at the forefront of these engagements.
Atiku, a vocal advocate for opposition unity, has consistently emphasized its pivotal role in combating the socio- economic challenges exacerbated by the current administration led by President Ahmed Tinubu of the APC. The notion of a united front has been a recurring theme in Atiku’ s public addresses, reflecting a broader sentiment within opposition circles regarding the necessity for cohesive action in confronting prevailing national issues.
As Nigeria navigates its political landscape in anticipation of the 2027 elections, the recent interactions between Obi and prominent PDP figures serve as a catalyst for broader discussions on the future trajectory of the opposition.
