EKO HOT BLOG reports that Obi, who was accompanied by his aide, Dr Yunusa Tanko, and the LP’s Lagos State governorship candidate in the 2023 elections, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, said the visits were centred on the state of the nation and ways to foster unity, fairness, and justice.

In a statement shared on his X handle, the former Governor of Anambra State confirmed the meetings and shared photographs. “Today, I with Dr Yunusa Tanko, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour and Segun Adebanjo visited President Obasanjo on a courtesy visit. Thereafter, we visited the new Olubadan of Ibadan, Kabiyesi Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja,” Obi wrote.

He noted that both discussions reflected the urgent need for Nigerians to work together to promote peace and harmony across ethnic and political divides. “In both visits, we were fortunate to discuss the state of our nation and how all of us can live in unity, love, fairness and justice progressively together,” Obi stated.

Obi also expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, insisting that building the country requires a team with competence, compassion, and commitment. “The meetings make me believe that coming together of a competent team with capacity, compassion, and commitment can build a new Nigeria that is possible,” he added.

The visits come amid ongoing national conversations on governance, unity, and leadership, with Obi continuing to engage key political and traditional figures since the 2023 general elections.
