During this time, Peter Obi also separately met with former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido and former Senate President Bukola Saraki, sparking speculation about a coalition for the 2027 general election.

Both Atiku and Obi ran together on the PDP joint ticket in 2019 but were defeated by former President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC. Following internal conflicts, Obi, who was Atiku’s running mate in 2019, left the PDP to run as the LP candidate in the 2023 presidential election.

Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, confirmed to The Punch that the meeting with Obi lasted about 20 minutes and hinted at the possibility of a coalition for the 2027 presidential election without disclosing further details to the media.

He stated, “Yes, Peter Obi visited Atiku Abubakar. They met for about 20 minutes behind closed doors, so we wouldn’t know what was said, and they didn’t disclose anything to us.

“Since Atiku Abubakar mentioned coalition discussions and such, I believe that both of them must have been engaged in dialogue. And I did mention that they wouldn’t be discussing it in the media. So, they have indeed been in discussions and it is just a matter of those discussions bearing fruit.

“Regarding the coalition talks, perhaps it is already underway. The possibility does exist.”

Davido has chosen to ignore the taunts directed at him by Wizkid on social media

Wizkid recently criticized Davido on social media, reigniting the feud. This happened after Davido teased his upcoming single. Wizkid’s associate, Black Tycoone, seemingly mocked Wizkid for the delay in his album release.

“Tell your Daddy to drop an album already.”

The singer then took to X (formerly Twitter) to throw shade at Davido’s camp, writing, “P***y boys dropping mid again,” followed by, “Una don tire! Make una go rest small!”

Although he didn’t name Davido directly, fans quickly saw the post as a dig at the “Feel” singer.

One fan, defending Davido, accused Wizkid of using their rivalry to gain attention, tweeting, “So if you no beef @davido, your song won’t sell?”

Wizkid swiftly denied clout-chasing accusations, instead launching a scathing attack on Davido’s talent. “I don’t beef wack niggas! We all know he’s wack! No talent!” he retorted.

Davido, however, remained silent on Wizkid’s jabs, choosing to focus on promoting his other projects across social media.
