Former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, on Wednesday received the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, Gautier Mignot, at his residence in Onitsha.

Obi disclosed this via his X (formerly Twitter) handle, where he shared photos from the visit and described the engagement as productive.

He wrote, “Today, Wednesday, I had the honour and privilege of hosting the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency, Mr. Gautier Mignot at my residence in Onitsha. It was an enriching meeting as we shared some useful conversations”.

Obi, who was defeated by Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, has indicated his intention to contest again in 2027.

He is also expected to secure the ticket of the African Democratic Congress, with former Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, projected as his running mate.
