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.
“Today in Abuja, I met with my very dear elder brother, statesman, and leader, former President Goodluck Jonathan @GEJonathan. We had a fruitful closed-door meeting and discussed the state of our dear nation,” Obi wrote.
Although details of the discussions were not made public, political observers say the meeting could be significant, given that both men have repeatedly been linked to possible presidential bids in 2027, particularly under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
