Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), paid a visit to his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, at his Abuja residence on Monday morning.
The former vice president made this known in a post via his official X handle on Monday.
The reason for their meeting is yet to be disclosed as of the time of filing this report.
Recall that Atiku was the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while Obi was the flagbearer for the Labour Party (LP) during the 2023 general election.
It is worth noting that Obi was previously in the PDP but dumped the party for LP in the build-up to the last general elections.
Their latest reunion, however, has generated a barrage of reactions on social media as many netizens speculated that the duo are plotting to form opposition ahead of the 2027 election.
See some of the reactions below:
@Equityoyo – ‘‘After he betrayed you in 2023 after he called you all sorts of names during the electioneering process? Kojoli, even if you both come together again in 2027, you will not see V not to talk of Victory. Congregation of Losers, Both as an individual or collectively”.
@RealQueenBee_ ”What is going on here? Anything less than Atiku throwing his weight behind Peter Obi for the Presidency in 2027 will not be acceptable. Atiku must play the fatherly role now and not allow Wike’s plan to be actualised in 2027.”
@OBAF4U – ‘‘The earlier we realize the system is not working, the better. All hands must be on deck to steer this faltering ship to safety.”
@Ollyskay – ”Hmmmm. Something nice is going on here. It would be nice if they both collaborate in the coming elections…that’s the only way they can become a real competition to the people presently in power.”
@DGreatBundee – ”Your Excellency Sir, you have seen and observed clearly without any bias that they people are with @PeterObi, sometimes irrespective of one’s great political achievements they people want who they want. Kindly endorse and support @PeterObi for a New Nigeria”.
@jrnaib2 – ‘‘Lesson learnt! United Opposition 2027.”
@Ahmadjr_77 – ”Reunite and save our country, please.”
