Though Peter Obi did not mention the purpose of his visit to the high commission’s office in Nigeria, this could also be suggested as part of his efforts to strengthen the Nigerian government’s relation with the Southern African country.

He was recently reported to have visited Egypt, a north African country, and revealed that the purpose of his visit to the country was to see how things are being run in the country and to create a template in Nigeria.
