The Obidient Movement has disclosed that there is no alliance talk between former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
National Coordinator of the movement, Yunusa Tanko, said there is no pact between Obi and Jonathan to remove President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
This comes amid speculations that Jonathan would run in the 2027 presidential election.
While Jonathan may return to the Peoples Democratic Party, there are also speculations that he might consider pitching his tent with the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Recently, Jonathan met with the National Chairman of ADC, David Mark, spokesman of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, and other leaders of the party in Abuja.
Similarly, Obi is yet to decide which political party he will run under in 2027. He is currently a member of the opposition coalition that adopted the ADC and a full member of the LP.
Recently, Jonathan and Obi had a closed-door meeting, sparking rumours of an alignment in 2027.
However, Tanko said: “My principal and the former president have a very good working relationship, and they know each other very well. So seeing them talk to each other does not mean anything.
“And it should not be translated to mean anything other than a platonic discussion on how to move this country forward.
“But I don’t think there’s anything more than that. No discussion or pact around 2027. Even when they met in Ghana, I was there. So there was nothing like that.”
