A viral image circulating online shows Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, visiting former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai in Abuja on July 25, 2025, sparking widespread speculation about their political alignment.
The photo, shared widely on X, captures the two at what appears to be a private meeting, though no official statement confirms the visit’s purpose. Sources close to Obi suggest it was a courtesy call, while others hint at discussions tied to their rumored interest in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for 2027, amid ongoing delays in their formal induction.
The image has fueled debates on X, with users noting the historical tension between Obi and El-Rufai, including a 2013 incident where El-Rufai claimed Obi placed him under house arrest in Anambra.
Despite this, their meeting reflects a possible strategic collaboration as opposition leaders navigate Nigeria’s political landscape. Obi’s team has not commented, and El-Rufai remains silent, leaving the viral photo to drive speculation about their next moves.
