BAUCHI, Nigeria – Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election and former governor of Anambra State, arrived in Bauchi State on Thursday, March 13, 2025, for a closed-door meeting with Governor Bala Mohammed.
The purpose of the visit remains undisclosed, sparking speculation about its political implications.
The meeting, held at the Government House in Bauchi, brought together two prominent figures from opposing political parties. Mohammed, who chairs the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, is expected to brief journalists alongside Obi after their discussions.
Obi’s visit to Bauchi comes amid growing political realignments and discussions about the future of opposition politics in Nigeria.
The former Anambra governor has remained an influential figure since the 2023 elections, advocating for good governance and economic reforms.
Governor Mohammed, a key leader within the PDP, has also been vocal about national issues, including the need for unity and development in the country.
His meeting with Obi has raised questions about potential collaborations or discussions on broader political strategies, especially with growing rumours regarding a new political coalition under the SDP.
