Share this article

There were strong indications of possible political realignments on Sunday as former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, paid a notable visit to the National Secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abuja.

The two prominent political figures arrived at the party’s headquarters amid tight security, with access to the premises restricted as discussions got underway behind closed doors.

Sources at the scene revealed that the meeting involved key members of the NDC leadership, including the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, and other senior stakeholders. The engagement was described as a high-level consultation focused on ongoing political developments and possible areas of collaboration.

While no official statement or commitment had been announced at the time of filing this report, the visit has fueled growing speculation about a potential alliance between the visiting political figures and the NDC.

Observers note that the joint presence of Obi and Kwankwaso at such a strategic meeting signals a possible shift in political alignments as discussions around future elections begin to gather momentum.

Insiders familiar with the development say the talks were largely exploratory, but significant, with all parties reportedly assessing their options in what could shape the next phase of Nigeria’s political landscape.

The private nature of the meeting suggests that consultations are still ongoing, as key actors continue to weigh decisions that may influence upcoming political contests across the country.
