Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has hosted the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, at his residence in Yola, Adamawa State.
The meeting, which was captured in a video shared by Atiku on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday, featured the two leaders having a meal together. Atiku captioned the post, “It is breakfast time with my friend, #PeterObi, in the ‘land of beauty.”
The video shows Atiku and Obi seated at a dining table with other dignitaries, engaged in discussions over breakfast.
The development marked another significant interaction between the two political figures since the 2023 general election. Their previous meeting occurred in May when Obi visited Atiku at the latter’s Abuja residence.
During that period, Obi also met with other prominent members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, and former Senate President Bukola Saraki. Those visits were Obi’s first interactions with his former political allies after defecting from the PDP to the Labour Party in May 2022.
Chief Spokesman of Obi’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, Yunusa Tanko, had previously stated that the discussions in May focused on charting a path to rescue the “soul of Nigeria” from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
While the details of the latest meeting remained undisclosed, it sparked speculation about possible collaboration or alignment among key opposition figures ahead of 2027 general election.
