A campaign poster featuring former Vice President and 2023 PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, alongside former Labour Party flagbearer, Peter Obi, has surfaced online portraying the duo as presidential and vice-presidential hopefuls for the 2027 general election.
The poster, which quickly gained attention, was first shared by user @PH_Socials on X (formerly Twitter), igniting discussions around a possible political alliance between the two prominent figures. The image suggests that Atiku would lead the ticket as the presidential candidate, with Obi as his running mate.
Despite the buzz online, neither Atiku nor Obi who are currently affiliated with different political parties have made any public statements confirming the alliance or expressing interest in running together in 2027.
Political observers note that the poster appears to be an initiative driven by grassroots supporters or youth groups hoping for a coalition that could present a strong opposition front in the next election cycle. There has been no indication of an official campaign launch or party endorsement.
Nonetheless, the release of the poster has reignited conversations about potential political mergers and collaborations, especially given the performance of both candidates in the last presidential election, where they collectively garnered millions of votes across Nigeria.
While some supporters online are welcoming the idea as a strategic move to unseat the ruling party, others are treating it with caution, calling for clear communication from both camps to avoid misinformation.
As of now, the Atiku-Obi ticket remains speculative, with no confirmation from either politician or their respective parties. However, the emergence of the banner may be a glimpse into evolving political dynamics as the 2027 elections draw closer.
