According to a NewsVista report, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar may have just sparked a political earthquake ahead of the 2027 elections by hosting Labour Party’s Peter Obi at his Abuja residence on Wednesday, July 2.
In a video shared on his official X account, Atiku didn’t mince words. He captioned it with a cryptic but telling phrase: “Coalition on the menu.” The move comes just days after Obi declared he would serve only one term if elected president in 2027 — a statement many see as a strategic offer to potential allies.
The meeting has stirred fresh rumours of a possible mega-coalition to unseat President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). While neither party has confirmed an alliance, the message in Atiku’s post has left Nigerians buzzing with anticipation.
Both men were once political teammates — Obi served as Atiku’s running mate in the 2019 election under the PDP. But in 2023, they ran on different tickets, splitting the opposition vote. Their latest reunion suggests those lines might be redrawn.
As 2027 draws closer, this surprise meeting could be the first major hint of a united opposition front. Nigerians are watching closely.
