Leader of the Obidient Movement, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, has disclosed that there is currently no joint ticket discussion between Mr Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Tanko is the Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.
There has been speculation over a potential joint ticket for the 2027 general elections, with some suggesting that Obi will again deputize Atiku.
However, Tanko, who spoke on Tuesday while fielding questions on Arise Television's Prime Time, said there was no such arrangement at the moment.
He categorically declared that it has not been discussed at all.
“That topic hasn’t even come up. People are speculating, but there’s no such talk now,” he said.
Tanko, however, confirmed that consultations were ongoing with like-minded political parties and stakeholders.
He stressed that any future alliance must be driven by national interest rather than elite political arrangements.
Tanko also announced that the movement's current focus is on building a broad-based coalition grounded in integrity, inclusiveness, and service to the Nigerian people.
Tanko further said that Obi will stick to it to serve only one term if required by a coalition agreement, noting that he's a man of his word.
Just yesterday, the African Democratic Congress, ADC, was adopted by the opposition coalition as their official platform for the 2027 election.
It has not been established whether Peter Obi, who flew the Labour Party flag in 2023, will join the ADC.
