Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar hosted former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi to a breakfast hours before the Ex-Governor was expected to take the podium at the American University of Nigeria (AUN) to deliver the 20th anniversary lecture.
Atiku posted via his X handle, @atiku saying: “It is breakfast time with my friend, @PeterObi, in the “land of beauty.”
The AUN convocation lecture appears to be a platform for the political realignment of the two former presidential candidates.
In 2023, Obi contested the presidential election on the platform of the Labour Party while Atiku, the proprietor of the University, ran the presidential race on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). There are speculations that both men may team up against Tinubu in 2027, or Atiku throwing his weight behind Obi.
