Obi Meets Makinde in Ibadan Amid Ongoing Opposition Realignment Talks

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, at the Governor’s Office in Ibadan.
The meeting took place less than 72 hours after a high-level summit of opposition parties convened in the Oyo State capital, bringing together prominent political figures and stakeholders from across the country.
Sources familiar with the development disclosed that the discussion forms part of ongoing consultations aimed at strengthening unity among opposition groups and exploring possible strategic alliances ahead of future political activities.
Although the specific agenda of the meeting was not made public at the time of filing this report, insiders described the engagement as a continuation of “strategic political consultations” following recent shifts within opposition circles.
The meeting also comes shortly after Obi’s separate engagement with former President Goodluck Jonathan, which is believed to be part of wider efforts toward political realignments on the national stage.
Further details are expected to emerge as consultations continue.
