Fayose Meets Obasanjo in Abeokuta Amid PDP Reconciliation Rumours

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, held a private meeting with ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday, sparking speculation about ongoing reconciliation within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Fayose was received by Obasanjo’s aides before proceeding to the former president’s private residence, where the closed-door meeting reportedly lasted over an hour. While details of their discussions were not disclosed, sources described the visit as “private.”

Known for his outspoken political style and frequent criticism of national authorities, Fayose has recently called for unity among southern political actors, ahead of anticipated party realignments and the 2027 elections.

Political observers suggest the meeting could signal attempts to strengthen PDP cohesion, especially as reconciliation efforts gain momentum across the party. The encounter also comes at a time when key southern leaders are seeking alignment on the party’s future direction.

The gathering drew attention from political analysts and stakeholders, highlighting the continued influence of both Fayose and Obasanjo in Nigeria’s political landscape.
