Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has clarified that there have been no discussions between Mr. Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar regarding a possible joint ticket for the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Tuesday, Tanko addressed the speculation, saying:
“That topic hasn’t even come up. People are speculating, but there’s no such talk now.
However, Tanko confirmed that consultations are underway with like-minded political parties and stakeholders.
He emphasized that any future alliance must be guided by national interest, not elite-driven political arrangements.
Tanko also noted that the movement is currently focused on building a broad-based coalition rooted in integrity, inclusiveness, and a commitment to serving the Nigerian people.
Tanko further stated that Peter Obi would be willing to serve only one term if that becomes a requirement under a coalition agreement, emphasizing that Obi is a man who keeps his word.
