The Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the meeting of 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as nothing to worry about, saying by 2027, President Bola Tinubu’s performance would earn him to win again.
The Publicity Secretary of APC in Lagos, Seye Oladejo, who stated this while reacting to the development, stressed that it would bring no harm to President Bola Tinubu’s reelection come 2027.
Recall that Obi had on Monday held a closed-door meeting with Atiku, a move political analysts described as a meeting for a possible alliance against the 2027 presidential election.
Obi also met separately with a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and a former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, which prompted speculation about a potential coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to the development, Oladejo said, “APC has nothing to worry about, by 2027, President Tinubu’s performance will earn him to win again.
“Your guess is good as mine, Obi probably went there to apologize, even though there is no public disclosure of his mission.
“He was with Atiku for denying him on what could have been Atiku’s best chance to emerge as president. Obi’s move to visit his former leader should not pose any worry.
“We are not looking at possible alliances. We are talking about people who are ambitious and will not shift ground for each other.
“And even if they form an alliance, we are absolutely not worry about that. By the time the next election comes, Nigerians will have seen that they made a good choice by electing President Tinubu to occupy the villa,” Oladejo stated.
The meeting on Monday was the first time since the election that Obi and Atiku would be meeting to public.
