Why Peter Obi Visited Atiku, Other PDP Bigwigs

The chief spokesman of Peter Obi’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, Yunusa Tanko, has explained why Obi visited the 2023 Presidential Candidate for the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, former Jigawa Governor, Sule Lamido and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in Abuja. 

Tanko’s explanation is coming after the suspense generated on Social media after pictures of the visit emerged online.

According to Tanko, Obi’s visit was based on how to rescue the ‘soul of Nigeria’ from the clutch of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). 

He stated this while speaking with The Punch following Obi’s closed-door meeting with the PDP bigwigs in Abuja. 

He said: “I am not privy to their meetings. But what you are seeing are some of the long discussions we have had a long time ago. It is part of the discussions and efforts to battle for the soul of Nigeria. 

“It is not a surprising thing for Obi to meet some of his political allies to discuss the situation of the country. That is the few I can say for now.” In a similar vein, an official statement released by Obi’s media team said the meeting was to wrest power from the ruling APC.”

The statement titled ‘State of the Nation and Plight of the Poor: partially read: “At the centre of discussion during each of these visits was the state of the nation and how to reduce the suffering of all Nigerians irrespective of class and location. In particular, the desperate condition of the downtrodden in our midst was highlighted. Of particular interest and emphasis in these discussions was the worrisome situation in the Northern parts of the country.”
