2027 Elections: PDP Leaders to Meet Peter Obi, Atiku in Strategic Plot

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is making moves ahead of the 2027 general elections, with plans to engage key political figures, including Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

The party’s South-South Zonal Chairman, Emma Ogidi, disclosed that the PDP is preparing for a series of strategic consultations aimed at repositioning the party and strengthening internal unity before the next election cycle.

Ogidi explained that the engagements are part of wider efforts by the party’s leadership to reconnect with influential Nigerians across political, religious, and traditional lines.

He said the initiative is being driven by the party’s National Working Committee, recently inaugurated in Ibadan, Oyo State.

According to him, the consultations will involve foundation members of the party, respected elders, religious leaders, and traditional rulers across the country.

He noted that several high-profile meetings have already taken place as part of this outreach.

“So we are going around. He has already seen former president Olusegun Obasanjo, IBB and the rest. It’s all about seeing those that are important and telling Nigerians that we are alive and we are moving.

“We also have plans to see Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar. PDP is the real face of democracy in Nigeria. The only party that has not changed its logo and vision for Nigeria.

“What we are doing now is to remind Nigerians of all that we did. There’s nothing APC is doing today. APC is just an aberration,” Ogidi said.

The PDP chieftain stressed that the party is focused on rebuilding public confidence and reminding Nigerians of its role in shaping democratic governance since 1999.

He added that the outreach is not limited to reconciliation but also about listening to concerns and aligning interests ahead of 2027.
