In a meeting that might not be connected to the 2023 general elections, Obi visited Laing with his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.

The former governor of Anambra did not make the meeting’s agenda public, but instead posted images of the visit on his verified Twitter account on Thursday morning.

Obi said: “Yesterday, with my dear brother and able running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed. We met with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, HE @CatrionaLaing1 and her colleagues.”

Speaking on the visit, Laing said via her verified Twitter handle, Wednesday, that the meeting focused on Obi’s ideas on the country’s economy, security and developmental issues as the 2023 general elections approach.

Laing tweeted, “Good to meet the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi @PeterObi today and hear about his ideas on Nigeria’s economic, security and development priorities ahead of #2023elections.”

Meanwhile, Obi posted yesterday that he also paid a visit to the office of the High Commissioner of South Africa to Nigeria.

“Courtesy call on the High Commissioner of South Africa to Nigeria. His Excellency, Thamsanqa Dennis Mseleku,” Obi tweeted.
