Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi visited ex-Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), approximately 24 hours after Malami secured his release on bail, sparking widespread speculation about potential political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
The meeting occurred at Malami’s office in Abuja and was widely reported across social media platforms, with multiple eyewitness accounts and shared footage confirming the interaction.
Sources described the visit as an expression of support following Malami’s prolonged legal challenges.
Malami, who served as Attorney-General under former President Muhammadu Buhari, had been embroiled in cases involving allegations of money laundering and related charges handled by agencies including the EFCC and DSS.
After facing detention, bail revocation, and court proceedings, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail reported in some accounts to involve a sum of N200 million leading to his eventual release.
The timing of Obi’s visit has drawn significant attention and commentary online. Observers have linked the encounter to broader discussions around forming a strong opposition front for the next general elections.
Social media reactions ranged from support for cross-regional dialogue to speculation about possible alliances, with some users referencing earlier meetings between the two figures and hinting at platforms like the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or similar vehicles for future collaboration.
Neither Peter Obi nor Abubakar Malami has released an official statement clarifying the purpose or outcome of their discussion.
