Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has met behind closed doors with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde in Ibadan, as consultations among opposition figures intensify.
The meeting took place at the Governor’s Office in the state secretariat and comes less than 72 hours after a high-level opposition summit held in the city, which brought together key political stakeholders from across the country.
Part of broader political realignments
Sources familiar with the development said the talks are part of ongoing efforts to strengthen opposition unity and explore possible alliances ahead of future political contests.
While details of the discussions were not officially disclosed, insiders described the engagement as “strategic consultations” following recent movements within opposition circles.
Series of high-level engagements
The meeting also follows Obi’s recent consultation with former President Goodluck Jonathan, seen by observers as part of a broader push toward political realignment.
Analysts say such engagements could signal early groundwork for coalition-building ahead of the 2027 general elections.
More details expected
As of the time of reporting, neither camp has released an official statement outlining the agenda or outcomes of the meeting.
Further developments are expected as consultations continue among opposition leaders.
