Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and ex-Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, ex-Governor Aminu Tambuwal on Monday, met in Abuja.

The former leaders met during a colloquium to celebrate the 60th birthday of former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha.

The event which was held at the Ladi Kwali Hall of the Abuja Continental Hotel was chaired by Obasanjo.

Posting on his X page, Atiku wrote: “Today, I joined family, friends, and leaders, including my former boss, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, at the 60th birthday colloquium in Abuja in honour of former Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Chief Emeka Ihedioha, @EmekaIhedioha.

“For a patriot, and long-standing associate like Ihedioha, birthdays are a moment of reflection. Your birthday is a time to appreciate you for your unwavering support all through the years.

“More than anything, it is a moment to thank the Almighty for His blessings and grace upon you. As you celebrate today, I am happy to join many other well-wishers of yours to pray for you for many more years in good health and service to humanity. Happy birthday, Emeka, and do have the best of the day.”

This comes days after Atiku, Ihedioha, and other opposition leaders, including a representative of Obi held a press conference at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

They had announced a move to birth a coalition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

During the press conference, Atiku hinted at a possible coalition of opposition parties to challenge Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 elections.
