Former Vice President and 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President Senator David Mark on Tuesday held a closed-door meeting with select PDP leaders in Abuja.
The high-level meeting, which began around 2 p.m., took place at the Borno/Anambra/Cross River Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.
Although the agenda was not made public, the gathering has sparked fresh speculation over political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Sources said that Atiku and Mark may be involved in discussions concerning two alternative political platforms, the African Democratic Alliance (ADA) and African Democratic Congress (ADC), reportedly being considered by an anti-Tinubu coalition for 2027.
Prominent PDP figures present at the meeting include former PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; former Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).
Others in attendance were Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, former National Organising Secretary Senator Austin Akobundu, ex-National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira.
Both Atiku and Mark have maintained a strong presence at recent PDP functions, further fueling talks of a strategic political move as 2027 approaches.
