The 2027 Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Wednesday met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, amid the rising political discussions over the former Nigerian leader’s role ahead of the 2027 general election.
Photos from the meeting were shared on X by Obi’s photographer, Esther Umoh.
In a brief statement accompanying the images, Umoh wrote, “Earlier today, the presidential candidate of the NDC, Peter Obi, met with former president Olusegun Obasanjo.”
The meeting between Obi and Obasanjo on Wednesday also came days after former Political Adviser to the ex-president, Akin Osuntokun, claimed that Obasanjo was the principal force behind the alliance between Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
