A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and a two-term governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi both met in Adamawa State on Saturday.

The meeting comes amid preparations for the 2027 General elections.

The New Diplomat reports that Atiku and Obi contested against each other in the last presidential election which was won by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

On Saturday, Atiku, who took to his social media pages, shared a video of their latest meeting.

His caption reads: “It is breakfast time with my friend, #PeterObi, in the ‘land of beauty.”

The video featured the two leaders, alongside others, seated together at a dining table, ready to have their meal.
