A few days ago, Atiku Abubakar had hosted Peter Obi at his residence in Abuja, and the meeting between the two former presidential candidates had sparked speculations about possible collaboration ahead of the 2027 election.

Atiku said that if the two parties merge and it is decided that Peter Obi should be the presidential candidate, then he won’t hesitate to support him.
