The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde have reportedly held a closed-door meeting.
The meeting according to sources took place at the Oyo State Government House.
Additionally, few Igbo elders, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), senators from the South-East, and Obi’s political associates attended the meeting with him.
Although both partied have not yet addressed the media, the meeting may be linked to his presidential ambition.
This latest meeting comes less than a twenty four hours after Obi had a similar closed-door meeting with former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Obi also raised alarm on X that Nigeria is “a decaying Nation Crying for Leadership”. The ADC chieftain said this in response to the recent violent killings in Adamawa, Katsina and Benue.
