Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and Labour Party figure Peter Obi have held a closed-door meeting amid growing efforts to unify opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting, described as “high-level,” was revealed by the mobilisation wing of the African Democratic Congress, which shared photos and videos of the engagement online.
According to the group, discussions centred on the possibility of opposition parties presenting a single presidential candidate to challenge the ruling party.
Obi attended the meeting alongside Igbo elders, ADC senators from the South-East, and other political allies.
The talks come amid ongoing consultations by Obi across Nigeria, including reported alliance discussions with Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The development follows a recent opposition summit held in Ibadan, hosted by Seyi Makinde and chaired by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Other notable attendees included Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi.
At the summit, opposition leaders agreed to form a united front, resist moves toward a one-party system, and work towards a consensus candidate for 2027.
Political analysts say the outcome of these discussions could significantly reshape Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the next general elections.
