The agenda of the meeting was not known as of press time but it comes amid plans by opposition politicians to map out strategies to trounce the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and win the 2027 presidential election.

78-year-old Atiku, who deputised Obasanjo between May 1999 and May 2007, came second after President Bola Tinubu of the APC won the 2023 presidential election.
