The PUNCH reports that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has extended an offer to Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to be his running mate in the 2027 general elections, promising to serve only one term if elected. The two political figures reportedly held a private meeting in the United Kingdom earlier this year, igniting widespread speculation about a possible alliance.
While the exact details of their conversation remain undisclosed, the meeting is being interpreted as a significant move towards uniting the opposition ahead of 2027. Atiku has consistently pushed for a coalition of opposition parties to take on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Peter Obi, who was Atiku’s running mate in the 2019 presidential election under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), left the PDP in 2022 to run independently under the Labour Party. Following their separate losses to President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 elections, talks of building a united opposition have been gaining traction.
This latest development signals an effort to reconcile past political differences and explore joint strategies for the future.
