2027 Presidency: Atiku, Obi Deny Allegations Of Merging For Joint Ticket, Explain Recent MeetingThe camps of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have dismissed rumors of a potential alliance for the 2027 presidential election following their recent meeting in Adamawa State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speculation about a possible collaboration was sparked when photos emerged of Atiku hosting Obi for breakfast at his residence, and the video of the meeting quickly went viral on social media. In the video, shared by Atiku on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, the two leaders are seen seated at a dining table engaging in friendly conversation. Atiku captioned the post, “It is breakfast time with my friend, #PeterObi, in the ‘land of beauty.”

The footage reignited public interest in the possibility of a merger among key opposition figures ahead of the 2027 elections. This follows earlier comments by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Deputy National Spokesman, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who suggested there had been talks about a potential alliance between Atiku, Obi, and the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

However, Atiku’s spokesman, Paul Ibe, quickly clarified that the breakfast meeting was not a political maneuver. He emphasized that Obi was invited to the gathering as part of his role as the keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary celebration and 16th Founder’s Day event of the American University of Nigeria (AUN), which Atiku founded. Ibe stated, “Obi accepted the invitation to speak at the anniversary, and he was part of that celebration. Politics was not involved. It was a friendly reunion.”

Obi’s media aide, Ibrahim Umar, also refuted claims that the meeting had anything to do with a 2027 election strategy. Umar described the idea of a political alliance being discussed over breakfast as “laughable” and clarified that Obi was simply invited to deliver a speech at the event. “It has nothing to do with politics. People will always read too much into these things,” he said.

Both camps have emphasized that the meeting was a personal and professional engagement, not a precursor to any political partnership for the upcoming election cycle.
