The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Thursday held a closed-door meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.

Obi, who disclosed the meeting in a post on his official X handle, described Jonathan as an “elder brother, statesman, and leader.” He said their talks centred on the state of the nation and other pressing national issues.
