2027: I have no agreement with Jonathan – Peter Obi

Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has addressed speculations of a political pact with former President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2027 general elections.

According to Obi’s media aide and National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Dr Yunusa Tanko, there is no pact between the former Anambra governor and Jonathan to unseat President Bola Tinubu.

The clarification comes following a recent closed-door meeting between Obi and Jonathan in Abuja, sparking rumours of an alliance between them.

“My principal and the former president have a very good working relationship, and they know each other very well. So seeing them talk to each other does not mean anything.

“And it should not be translated to mean anything other than a platonic discussion on how to move this country forward.

“But I don’t think there’s anything more than that. No discussion or pact around 2027. Even when they met in Ghana, I was there. So there was nothing like that,” Tanko stated.
