This comes after photos and videos of the two leaders sharing breakfast in Adamawa State went viral on social media, fueling rumours of a political merger.
Atiku had previously shared a video of the meeting on his official X account on Saturday, November 30.
The video showed Atiku and Obi seated with others around a dining table.
The meeting coincided with Obiâs invitation as the keynote speaker at the 20th anniversary of the American University of Nigeria (AUN) and its 16th Founderâs Day, events organized by Atiku.
Reacting to the speculation, Atikuâs spokesman, Paul Ibe, described the breakfast as a reunion between friends rather than a political strategy session, The Punch reported.
Similarly, Obiâs media aide, Ibrahim Umar, rejected suggestions of a political agenda.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Atiku was told to work with Professor Ibrahim Gambari, former chief of staff to Muhammadu Buhari.
A top Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Segun Sowunmi, said he looks forward to Atiku and Gambari working together to displace Tinubu in 2027.
Atiku made a post announcing that he paid guest Professor Gambari at his residence in Abuja on Wednesday, November 27.
