Obasanjo Ignites 2027 Political Storm As Peter Obi Meeting Fuels Alliance Speculation
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has triggered fresh political debate after meeting with Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi amid rising tensions over the direction of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential race.
The high-profile encounter, which took place on Wednesday, was captured in photographs shared on X by Obi’s campaign photographer, Esther Umoh. The images showed Obi and Obasanjo together in traditional outfits, accompanied by a Catholic bishop during parts of the meeting.
While the two leaders have not disclosed details of their discussions, the meeting has intensified speculation about possible political alignments ahead of the next general election.
The development comes after controversy surrounding Obasanjo’s perceived political position. The Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum recently alleged that the former president was working behind the scenes to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, despite his public engagements with opposition figures.
