2027: No Pact With Jonathan To Unseat Tinubu – Obi
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has dismissed speculations of a political alliance with former President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The former Anambra State Governor insisted that no pact exists between him and Jonathan to unseat President Bola Tinubu.
The clarification was made by Obi’s media aide and National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH.
There have been rumours of opposition realignment following a recent closed-door meeting between Obi and Jonathan in Abuja.
But Tanko while clarifying, said, “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.”
