In what appears to be a major political development, former presidential candidate and national figure, His Excellency Peter Obi, alongside His Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar , made a high-profile entrance this afternoon at the Abuja Continental Hotel for the Northern edition of the National Political Consultative Group meeting.
The event, which is drawing attention from across the country, is a strategic gathering of political stakeholders from the Northern region, aimed at fostering unity, strengthening regional representation, and setting a collective agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Eyewitnesses report that security was tight around the hotel as both leaders arrived to a warm reception from delegates, traditional leaders, and political enthusiasts. Supporters cheered as the duo exchanged pleasantries and proceeded into the venue, signaling the beginning of what is expected to be a deeply engaging and consequential dialogue.
Political analysts believe that the presence of Peter Obi and Alhaji A.A. may hint at possible alliances or renewed strategies to engage the North in ongoing national political conversations.
The meeting is expected to feature closed-door consultations, policy discussions, and a communiqué outlining the region’s expectations and contributions to Nigeria’s democratic future.
