Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde Hold Key Meeting in Ibadan

On Tuesday, Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, held a closed-door meeting with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde at the governor's office in Ibadan. The meeting is part of ongoing consultations among opposition leaders as they prepare for the 2027 general elections.

Although the official agenda of the meeting was not disclosed, it is widely perceived as a strategic discussion aimed at fostering unity among political stakeholders. The summit attracted key political figures and stakeholders amid ongoing coalition discussions.

This meeting follows a similar closed-door meeting involving Obi and former President Goodluck Jonathan, which garnered public attention. Yunusa Tanko, Obi's former campaign spokesman and the national coordinator of the Obidi Movement Worldwide, was also involved in the consultations, emphasizing the goal of building national support for Obi's political ambitions and promoting unity among stakeholders.
