IBADAN, Nigeria — Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate and a prominent figure in the coalition movement within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is currently in a closed-door meeting with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan.
This meeting comes just 72 hours after a high-profile summit held in Oyo State that gathered leading political figures and stakeholders from across the country.
An insider familiar with the situation indicated that the discussions are part of ongoing efforts to enhance unity among opposition parties and explore potential strategic alliances ahead of future political endeavors. The specific agenda of the meeting has not been publicly disclosed as of this report.
The source stated that the meeting constitutes “strategic political consultations,” following recent developments within opposition circles. Details surrounding the discussions remain confidential.
This meeting follows Obi’s earlier consultation with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday, which is also believed to be related to broader national political realignments.
Further details are anticipated as the discussions progress.
