Abuja – June 26, 2025 – In a move stirring fresh political conversation ahead of the 2027 general elections, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, held a strategic meeting with former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, in Abuja.
The meeting, which took place on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at Malami’s office, was confirmed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, interim national coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide. Sharing the news via a post on X (formerly Twitter), Tanko described the meeting as part of Peter Obi’s ongoing efforts to build alliances across Nigeria’s political landscape.
“Today, the 25th of June 2025, the Obidient Movement has attracted another senior member into the fold. This is part of our mission to build bridges and liberate Nigerians from the hardships they face daily,” Tanko stated.
Photographs shared from the meeting show Obi and Malami in cordial discussion, sparking speculation about a possible alignment or political collaboration. However, Tanko later clarified in an interview with TheCable that while the meeting was significant, Malami has not formally joined the Obidient Movement.
The Obidient Movement, which emerged as a strong political force during the 2023 elections, continues to gain momentum as a platform for reform, civic engagement, and cross-party dialogue
