A source familiar with the discussion described the engagement as “cordial and forward-looking,” with Mr. Obi reportedly emphasizing the importance of national cohesion, equity, and credible leadership. Although he has remained politically independent in recent months, the meeting has sparked speculation about potential alliances or renewed collaboration with PDP.

A member of the reconciliation team stated, “We are reaching out to all stakeholders who share our vision for a stronger and united Nigeria. Mr. Obi is an important voice in that conversation.”

The PDP’s zoning decision favoring the Sout has been viewed as a calculated move to realign its political base and address longstanding calls for rotational leadership. Party insiders say further engagements with key regional leaders and former presidential contenders are underway.
