Jonathan and Obi Meet in Abuja to Discuss PDP Return Ahead of 2027 Elections

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi met in Abuja to discuss national interests and potential political moves. There were talks of wooing Obi back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 elections.

Various political figures, including former Jigawa State governor Sule Lamido and former Minister of Information Prof Jerry Gana, expressed support for their return. However, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike's group warned against the move, pledging allegiance to President Bola Tinubu.

Jonathan lost power in 2015, leading to his distancing from the PDP, while Obi left shortly after the party's failed presidential primary in 2022.
