Planning for the 2027 presidential election has been dismissed by Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

The statement was made by Atiku and Obi during their breakfast meeting in Yola, the capital of Adamawa State.

A video of the two men sitting at a dining table together, anticipating their lunch, had surfaced.

Paul Ibe, a spokesman for Atiku, claimed that the gathering was a reunion of two long-time friends.

Ibe told reporters about the meeting on Saturday: “Let us not jump the gun. The fact is that Obi accepted to be the keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary of AUN and the 16th Founder’s Day, which was a milestone. Obi is part of that celebration.

“The university was founded by Atiku Abubakar, who was more like his host. But people think it is because of politics. We all know our friends. The truth is that politics cannot separate friends.

“So Atiku invited him to breakfast and from there, they went for the programme. I think that is what happened.”

Ibrahim Umar, Obi’s media assistant, claimed there was no political overtone to the meeting.

“There was nothing like that. They just invited him (Obi) to deliver a speech there. It has nothing to do with politics. Of course, you know people will always assume things,” he said.
