Details of the meeting, which were not open to the media, remain largely undisclosed.
Former Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, on Monday met behind closed doors, intensifying ongoing consultations among opposition figures seeking to unseat the ruling party in the 2027 general elections.
Details of the meeting, which were not open to the media, remain largely undisclosed.
However, political insiders say the discussions were centred on forging a united opposition front and the possibility of presenting a single presidential candidate to challenge the dominance of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The engagement is reportedly part of a broader realignment effort involving key opposition actors across party lines, including elements within the Peoples Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress.
Obi reportedly attended the meeting with a delegation comprising Igbo elders and lawmakers aligned with the ADC coalition, underscoring growing regional consultations ahead of the polls.
The talks come amid increasing momentum for an opposition merger, following a high-level summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State, over the weekend.
Among those present were former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi.
At the end of the Ibadan summit, participants issued a communiqué declaring their intention to form a united front against the APC, warning against what they described as creeping one-party dominance in Nigeria’s political landscape.
The communiqué also emphasised the need to agree on a consensus presidential candidate, a move analysts say could significantly reshape the electoral dynamics if executed.
