The Obidient Movement has urged former President Goodluck Jonathan, to support Peter Obi in the 2027 election, instead of contesting against him in the exercise.
The appeal comes after Obi and Jonathan held a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
Obi posted pictures of him with the Jonathan on his X handle, describing the Bayelsa-born politician as “a very dear elder brother, statesman, and leader”.
He added that their discussion centred on the “state of the nation”.
It has been speculated that Jonathan will contest the 2027 presidential election, he is, however, yet to make a public pronouncement on the issue.
Dr Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said while both men are respected leaders, Obi remains the preferred choice of millions of Nigerians seeking a new direction.
“They have been friends for a long time. The meeting was for them to fraternise and discuss how to rescue Nigeria.
“But for us in the Obidient Movement, it would be great if Jonathan remains the respected statesman he is known for. He has done his best as President, he is respected, and this is the time for him to support his brother,” Tanko said.
