Atiku, Obasanjo, Tambuwal, Imoke meet behind closed door in Abeokuta
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general election, met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Monday in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
The former vice president arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta at 12:36 p.m.
Mr Atiku, accompanied by former governors of Cross River and Sokoto States, Liyel Imoke, Aminu Tambuwal, and Abdul Ningi, the senator representing Bauchi Central, was received by Mr Obasanjo’s ally, Oyewole Fasawe.
Although the purpose of the meeting has yet to be ascertained, it comes amid rumours that opposition leaders have been considering forming an alliance to unseat President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 election.
Last year, Mr Atiku hosted Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) at his residence in Adamawa. This development also sparked rumours of a possible coalition between the opposition leaders.
