Worried about the state of the nation and the increasing uncertainty in the living conditions of the poor and under-privileged, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, yesterday visited some top Nigerians in Abuja, among whom are former Vice-President, the PDP Presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki and former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lami?o.
At the center of discussion during each of these visits was the state of the nation and how to reduce the suffering of all Nigerians irrespective of class and location. In particular, the desperate condition of the downtrodden in our midst was highlighted.
Of particular interest and emphasis in these discussions was the worrisome situation in the Northern parts of the country .
Atiku Abubakar shared the photos of their meeting on his X handle, with the caption: ”It was my honour and privilege to host @PeterObi today. – AA”.
Peter Obi had paired with Atiku Abubakar as Vice-Presidential candidate during the 2019 Presidential election. He, however, left the PDP in May, 2022 to contest the 2023 election on the platform of the LP.
Their latest reunion has however raised speculation of a formidable opposition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
According to an issued statement yesterday, signed by “Plight of the Poor’ spokesman, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the 2023 Presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party has continued to live up to his expressed commitment to the peace and progress of the nation.
His abiding devotion is to the emergence of a Nigeria that works for all its peoples and where the people are quickly pulled out of poverty.
