Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi met with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed in a closed-door meeting on Thursday morning, fueling speculation about potential political alignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
Obi arrived in Bauchi State early Thursday and was welcomed at Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport at about 9:45 a.m. before heading straight to the Presidential Lodge of the Government House for discussions with Governor Mohammed.
While details of the meeting remain undisclosed, analysts believe it could be linked to strategic political alliances as Nigeria gears up for the 2027 presidential race.
Peter Obi has consistently emphasized that his political moves are not merely about grabbing power but about improving governance. His Spokesman, Yunusa Tanko, reiterated this point, saying:
“He is interested strongly in a merger that is driven by ideology and a programme. But if it’s only for the purpose of power, he is not interested.”
Obi’s vision for Nigeria includes:
1. Lifting Nigerians out of poverty
2. Improving healthcare access
3. Providing potable drinking water
4. Solving Nigeria’s persistent power supply issues
His visit to Bauchi could signal a broader coalition-building effort focused on governance reforms and national development.
With the 2027 elections still years away, Obi’s meeting with Governor Mohammed raises important questions:
1. Is this the beginning of a political alliance between the Labour Party and key Northern stakeholders?
2. Could this be part of a broader strategy for opposition collaboration?
3. Will Nigerians see a major political realignment in the coming years?
While nothing has been confirmed, Obi’s latest move signals that the road to 2027 will be an interesting one to watch.
