The details of the meeting between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar have emerged ¹. They discussed issues affecting Nigeria and how to rescue the country. However, there are speculations that the meeting might be connected to the 2027 election. The meeting could have been about the following ² ³:
– *Zoning of the presidential ticket*: Atiku Abubakar wanted the PDP to zone the 2023 presidential ticket to the Southeast, but Nyesom Wike worked against it.
– *Peter Obi’s departure from PDP*: Wike played a significant role in Obi’s departure from the PDP.
– *Atiku’s willingness to step aside*: Atiku was willing to forego his presidential aspiration if the presidency was micro-zoned to the southeast region, where Obi hails from.
– *Wike’s counter-proposal*: Wike countered Atiku’s condition and promoted that the ticket be thrown open to the three sub-regions in the south (southeast, southwest, and south-south).
