2027 presidency: Atiku hosts Obi in Adamawa
Permutations about the 2027 presidential contest have commenced with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar hosting Peter Obi, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), to a breakfast meeting at his residence in Adamawa State.
There are speculations of another Atiku/Obi ticket coming up in the 2027 presidential election.
Pressure is also being mounted on Atiku to endorse Obi and another strong contestant from the North, to defeat and upstage the incumbent President, Bola Tinubu.
In a video posted on his X handle on Saturday, Atiku is seen with the 2023 LP presidential candidate, walking into a dining area of his house.
In May, Atiku hosted Obi at his residence in Abuja sparking rumours of a possible alliance between both politicians ahead of the 2027 election.
Atiku was vice-president between 1999 and 2007.
He was the standard-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 and 2023 presidential elections — losing in both polls. Obi was his running mate in 2019.
