Social media have been heated up following the meeting of former President Olusegun Obasanjo with the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi and some other governors and former governors of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP in London on Thursday.
Obasanjo met Obi alongside Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State; Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, among others.
Although details behind the photograph is yet to be ascertained, it might not be unconnected to the permutations ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.
The photos, however, have generated reactions from Nigerians on Twitter.

@Sports_Doctor2, “Baba Obasanjo Olusegun will play a huge role in who becomes President next year. And I’m loving what he’s doing, he’s showing what it means to be an “Elder Statesman” unlike some people. 2023 Is VERY Important!!!”
Recall that prior to the London meeting, there had been intense disquiet in the PDP over the fallout between Atiku and Wike following the PDP primary in May.
This development has since generated fears that the Wike-Atiku difference may affect the chances of the PDP flag bearer in the 2023 presidential election.
