The European Union's ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Gautier Mignot, was hosted by former Anambra State governor Peter Obi on Wednesday at his home in Onitsha.
They had "useful conversations," according to Obi, who shared pictures from the meeting on his X Twitter.
"I had the honor and privilege of hosting the European Union Ambassador to Nigeria, His Excellency, Mr. Gautier Mignot, at my residence in Onitsha today, Wednesday," he wrote. We had some insightful discussions during the meeting, which was enriching.
Obi, who lost the 2023 presidential election to President Bola Tinubu, has expressed readiness to give the presidency another shot in 2027.
He is expected to clinch the African Democratic Congress, ADC, ticket with the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate.
