The 2023 presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and his counterpart from the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi have dismissed planning for the 2027 presidential election.

Atiku and Obi made the remark against the backdrop of their breakfast meeting in Yola, the Adamawa State Capital.

A video had emerged of both men seated together at a dining table, ready to have their meal.

However, Atiku’s spokesman, Paul Ibe said the meeting was a reunion of two old friends.

Speaking with journalists about Saturday’s meeting, Ibe said: “Let us not jump the gun. The fact is that Obi accepted to be the keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary of AUN and the 16th Founder’s Day, which was a milestone. Obi is part of that celebration.

“The university was founded by Atiku Abubakar, who was more like his host. But people think it is because of politics. We all know our friends. The truth is that politics cannot separate friends.


"So Atiku invited him to breakfast and from there, they went for the programme. I think that is what happened.”

On his part, Obi’s media aide, Ibrahim Umar, said the meeting had no political undertone.

There was nothing like that. They just invited him (Obi) to deliver a speech there. It has nothing to do with politics. Of course, you know people will always assume things” he said.

I like your moniker..

But Tinubu got 8 million votes … out of 92.. mill.
Plus APC I. Government
Plus him buying out inec
Plus votes suppression in opposition strong hood and his
Plus Rigging ..
Plus muslim ticket .. that gave him north
And equation balance of power coming to south.


New entrant without structure and profile got 6 million

Atiku coming in against the tide .. being a Muslim from th north and buhari just left office
Got 6 million

Guy man..
now the government is like this and obviously the northwest is backing out and Arewa as a region careless where the power goes .. either north or south and will wish it home .. even all possible

What’s Tinubu strategy aside rigging ..

Can he rig in Kano for example or same kebbi.. or maybe sokoto .. with wammako his ally grown weak

How do you think Wike will rigg in Rivers state .. and succeed ..

How far with Anambra .. where APC is not visible

Edo already has generated enough noise .. on the show of shame ..

Even you a Yoruba man.. do you think all your family will vote him.. even with all sentiments.. tribal and all

Oga are you not tired of suffering and stress this government has put on you… or is it their propaganda?

If you’re not … many Nigerians are .. the suffer is simply too much and keep increasing per day

Except your parents the feed you and you’ve no responsibilities.. then you can carry on ..


Nigerians are tired of Tinubu government

Write this down somewhere

Obi will go back to PDP, and will be their presidential candidate in 2027. He will win the next presidential election before 10am on the Election Day.

If they ran separately then the results will be the same… it’s pretty obvious


You need large numbers to replace the siting government…

If the PDP and LP won’t rescue Nigeria then let’s hope the light at the end of the tunnel the Apc has been talking abt is still intact

You guys should come up with policy that will favour the masses. What Tinubu is doing currently has destroyed a lot of things. No one is comfortable again. Whatever u guys are cooking should be done earnestly. Nigeria cannot bear the pains of another 4 years.

We're still grappling with the failed port harcourt refineries, that's enough to shut you people's mouth. Leave them alone and face your evil mentors who keep plunging Nigeria into her abysmal end with propaganda and massive corruption.

Both Obi.and atiku had told the gospel truth that if elected, they'd sell off the moribund refineries, but the apc keeps using it as conduit pipe to embezzle the poor masses funds.
