In a statement, Amaechi expressed admiration for Obi’s conduct, particularly during his tenure as Anambra State Governor. “I was struck by Peter Obi’s brilliance, composure, and leadership,” Amaechi said, highlighting Obi’s embodiment of qualities he respects in the aforementioned leaders.
Amaechi, a seasoned politician and former Rivers State Governor, noted that Obi’s approach to governance is worthy of emulation. His comments come amid ongoing political developments, with Obi remaining a prominent figure in Nigerian politics.
