OBI VISITS ATIKU

Former vice-president and Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Atiku Abubakar hosted his former running mate and presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi on Monday at his place of residence.

This was disclosed in a tweet issued by Atiku on his verified X page while sharing the pictures of the duo after the meeting.

The post which showed Obi and Atiku exchanging handshakes was captioned, “It was my honour and privilege to host Peter Obi today. – AA”

The meeting of the two prominent politicians had generated mixed reactions from netizens who thought Atiku and Obi were working on how to unite and form a strong force that would defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

A user, OTUNBA wrote: “If Atiku and Peter Obi work together in 2027 they’ll kick Bola Tinubu out.

“Two options:

1) Atiku drops his ambition and supports Peter Obi for President.

2) Peter Obi agrees to be Atiku’s running mate, then in 2031 after Atiku’s administration Obi will run as President.”
