2027: Peter Obi Visits AA Zaura In His Abuja Residence

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), on Friday, paid a private visit to the Abuja residence of Abdulsalam Abdulkarim Zaura, better known as AA Zaura, a prominent member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who hails from Kano State.

The former Governor of Anambra State and AA Zuara held a closed-door meeting that extended beyond an hour, with neither two politicians revealing the purpose of their discussion.

Despite the confidential nature of their meeting, sources affiliated with both individuals indicated that Obi’s visit was part of a larger strategy to connect with significant political figures across Nigeria in preparation for the upcoming 2027 elections.

Zaura, who serves as the President of the AA Zaura Foundation International, was the APC candidate for the Kano Central Senatorial District during the 2023 elections and is a notable figure in Kano’s political arena.
