2027: No pact with Jonathan, says Obi

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, insisting that no pact exists between them 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.

Tanko’s intervention follows growing political tension sparked by a recent closed-door meeting between the former Anambra governor and Jonathan in Abuja — a development that triggered rumours of opposition realignment.

He 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. Punch
