Former Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has disclosed that he held private talks with former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.
The meeting took place alongside some elders from the South-East at Goodluck Jonathan’s residence in Abuja.
In a statement on X following the meeting, Obi explained that the meeting is a component of his “extensive consultations” with Nigerian leaders about the country’s future and the 2027 general election
Obi said, “Our discussions were frank, thoughtful, and anchored on the urgent need to reposition Nigeria on the path of unity, security, stability, productivity, and inclusive governance.”
“At a time when our nation continues to grapple with economic hardship, rising insecurity, and deepening social divisions, it has become imperative that leaders across regions come together to reflect, consult, and act in the overall interest of the Nigerian people.”
Obi further emphasized that Nigeria needs leaders who are driven by skill, morality, ability, and empathy rather than self-interest.
“The kind of leadership that understands that governance is not about sharing what is left, but about creating what is needed. We must move from a consumption-driven nation to a production-driven one. Where our vast human and natural resources are effectively harnessed for the common good.”
Peter Obi added that the 2027 election is an opportunity to “reset the trajectory of the country”.
