Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi met with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday in Abuja. The private meeting, which was not open to the press, has sparked speculation about its purpose and potential political implications.
Obi, who was the Labour Party’s flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, shared a photo of the meeting on social media, referring to Jonathan as his “leader, statesman, and elder brother.”
He mentioned that they discussed various national issues, though he did not provide specifics.
The timing of the meeting is noteworthy, as it coincides with ongoing discussions within the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) about potential candidates for the 2027 presidential election.

There has been speculation about Jonathan’s possible involvement in the race, and some reports suggest that the PDP is considering both Jonathan and Obi as potential candidates.
The closed-door nature of the meeting and the absence of detailed information have led to increased interest and debate among political analysts and the public.
Observers are keen to understand the outcomes of the discussion and how it might influence the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
