Sources close to the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, have told DAILY GAZETTE that the former Anambra State governor will be in Enugu tomorrow.
Although the purpose of his visit remains unclear, analysts suggest it may not be unconnected with political permutations ahead of the 2027 elections.
Obi, who has remained vocal on governance and economic issues since the last presidential election, has made several visits to different parts of the country, engaging stakeholders across various sectors.
His upcoming presence in Enugu has fueled speculation about possible consultations with political allies, business leaders, and key figures in the southeast.
A top political strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity, noted that “Obi’s visit to Enugu at this time is significant. Enugu remains a political nerve center of the southeast, and any move by a major political player like Obi naturally raises interest. He may be here for private engagements, but it is hard to separate his activities from politics.”
However, another source said “Peter Obi’s visits often cut across politics, economy, and social engagements. He may be here for consultations, policy discussions, or even personal commitments.”
