Former President Goodluck Jonathan and the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Thursday, held a closed-door meeting in Abuja.

The meeting between the two leaders was held behind closed doors, according to details shared by Peter Obi on his X account.

He stated that their discussions focused on the state of Nigeria and were fruitful.

“Today in Abuja, I met with my very dear elder brother, statesman, and leader, former President Goodluck Jonathan @GEJonathan. . We had a fruitful closed-door meeting and discussed the state of our dear nation,” Obi wrote

The meeting between the duo comes amidst rumours that Jonathan is considering running for the 2027 presidency.

According to earlier reports, supporters o Jonathan, ahead of the 2027 presidential election, have begun reaching out to opposition heavyweights, including Labour Party’s Peter Obi, in a bid to form a grand coalition strong enough to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu.

With the APC hierarchy already backing Tinubu for re-election, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) zoning its presidential ticket to the South, the 2027 contest is shaping into an all-Southern affair.

Political pundits said top PDP leaders, particularly from the North, have been mounting pressure on Jonathan to throw his hat into the ring.

Before Jonathan’s name resurfaced, several PDP bigwigs had also courted Obi to return to the fold after his 2022 defection to the LP, where he emerged as presidential flagbearer.

Obi, who has remained one of the fiercest critics of the Tinubu administration, is also backing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, which parades several prominent figures, including former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, former Senate President, David Mark, former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola and former Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai.

Asked repeatedly whether he would rejoin the PDP or align with the ADC, Obi maintained that he was committed to “any move that will save the country from the APC.”

Other Southern politicians reportedly eyeing a face-off with Tinubu include Amaechi and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
