Top figures of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday held a private meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The closed-door talks were led by a faction of the party under the chairmanship of Alhaji Taminu Turaki. He was accompanied by former Niger State governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, former Plateau State governor Jonah Jang, and other senior party leaders.
The delegation arrived at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library late in the morning and proceeded into a meeting that was not open to the media. As of the time of reporting, no official details have been released on the issues discussed.
Obasanjo, despite not being an active member of the PDP, continues to receive high-profile political visitors, particularly from opposition parties. His influence in national political affairs has remained strong over the years.
This is not the first time PDP leaders have met with the former president. In 2022, he held similar private discussions with several PDP governors ahead of the party’s presidential primaries. Earlier that year, Obasanjo also made it clear during a visit by party leaders that he had no plans to return to the PDP.
Saturday’s meeting comes amid renewed political consultations within opposition ranks, as party leaders weigh options ahead of future electoral contests.
