Atiku, who ran for president in 2023 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Obi, who was a strong contender with the Labour Party, have met before. They even worked together in the 2019 election when Obi was Atiku’s running mate. Now, their latest meeting has everyone talking about a possible plan to challenge President Bola Tinubu and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in 2027.
The meeting happened just one day after a new group called the Coalition for a Better Nigeria chose the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its official party to fight the APC in the next election. Peter Obi has already said he supports this coalition, which wants to bring different political leaders together to make Nigeria better. Atiku is also part of these talks, and their meeting at his home has made people think they might be planning something big.
On social media, especially on X, Nigerians are excited and curious. Some believe Atiku and Obi could form a strong team to tackle problems like hunger, poverty, and insecurity. Others are not so sure, remembering that talks between the two leaders in May 2025 did not lead to an agreement. Back then, Obi’s supporters, called the Obidient Movement, said he would not agree to be Atiku’s vice president and wanted him to run for president instead.
This news comes at a time when Nigeria is facing many challenges. Just recently, a terrible attack in Anambra left 10 people dead, and there are stories of corruption, like the case against former Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika, who is accused of giving government contracts worth N2.7 billion to his family. There’s also talk of President Tinubu starting his 2027 campaign with plantain chips branded with his name, which has upset many people who feel leaders should focus on solving problems, not campaigning early.
What did Atiku and Obi talk about? Nobody knows for sure yet. Atiku’s team says the meeting was just a friendly visit, but many believe it’s about planning for 2027. Obi has said he wants to fight hunger and poverty, not just chase political power. Will they join forces, or will they go their separate ways? Only time will tell.
Nigerians are watching closely, and this meeting could be a big step toward changing the country’s future. Stay tuned for more updates!
