Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), met with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan on Tuesday behind closed doors.
It was learned that the meeting took place at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan, less than 72 hours after a high-level opposition summit in the state capital.
The summit drew important politicians and stakeholders from all over the country as part of ongoing efforts to form a coalition before the 2027 general elections.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not officially disclosed, a source familiar with the development who spoke with Vanguard said it was part of broader consultations among opposition leaders.
The source says that both politicians were involved in “strategic political consultations” to strengthen the opposition and look into possible alliances.
The meeting also happens not long after Obi got engaged to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
After meeting with Jonathan, Obi said that his trip to see the former President is directly related to getting ready for the 2027 general election.
Speaking after the visit, the former Governor of Anambra State revealed that he visited Jonathan to consult him about the 2027 general elections in the interest of Nigeria.
He added that their discussions focused on how to reposition Nigeria and on how all leaders can come together to make the country better.
Obi said that people shouldn’t just see the 2027 elections as another political event, but as a chance to start over in the country.
