Jonathan and Obi Meet Amid Political Speculation in Nigeria

Former President Goodluck Jonathan met with Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, in a closed-door session in Abuja. The meeting has sparked speculation about a potential political coalition for the upcoming 2027 elections. While the details of the discussions remain undisclosed, Obi characterized the meeting as “fruitful,” hinting at possible collaborative efforts between the two political figures.

The meeting coincides with controversial assertions made by investigative journalist David Hudeyin. He proposed a theory suggesting a potential political collapse in Nigeria by 2026, citing a 2010 report from the Rockefeller Foundation. Hudeyin also accused activist Omoyele Sowore of being an “American Intelligence contractor” and labeled him a “dangerous national traitor,” alleging that he is being groomed for a specific role in this purported plan.
