VIDEO: Peter Obi in closed-door meeting with Makinde in Ibadan

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is currently in a closed-door meeting with Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, in Ibadan, Oyo.

The Tuesday meeting, which reportedly took place at the Governor’s Office in the Secretariat, Ibadan, was held after Makinde hosted an opposition summit held in the state capital.

The summit had drawn key political figures and stakeholders amid ongoing coalition talks ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Although the agenda of Obi’s meeting with Makinde was not officially disclosed as of the time of filing this report, it is widely seen as part of intensifying political consultations across opposition circles.

The development follows a similar closed-door engagement between Obi and former President Goodluck Jonathan, which also generated widespread attention.

Speaking on the rationale behind that meeting, Obi’s former campaign spokesman and National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, said the consultations are part of a broader strategy to build national support.

“It is a visit to our national leaders… to appeal to them to give support to the candidature of Peter Obi based on available facts that the Nigerian youths have made up their mind,” he said.

Tanko added that the outreach is aimed at fostering unity and addressing perceived gaps in national leadership representation.
