Obi visits Farotimi After Obasanjo, Commends His Dedication to National Development

In a show of solidarity and commitment to Nigeria’s progress, former presidential candidate Peter Obi visited renowned lawyer and activist Dele Farotimi following his earlier meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo. 
The visit, which took place on Thursday, underscored Obi’s continued efforts to foster alliances aimed at achieving transformative governance in Nigeria.
Farotimi, who recently returned from the Ekiti correctional center, has been an outspoken advocate for justice, human rights, and good governance. During the visit, Obi expressed his delight at finding Farotimi in high spirits and deeply committed to the cause of building a better Nigeria.
“I was pleased to find him in good spirits and deeply encouraged by his unwavering dedication to the struggle for a better Nigeria,” Obi said via his X-handle.

“@DeleFarotimi exemplifies courage in the face of adversity, consistently taking bold stands for good governance in our nation. I wish him a fruitful and productive year as we continue to work together toward the development of our country,” Obi added.
Farotimi, a vocal critic of corruption and misgovernance, has consistently called for institutional reforms and greater accountability in leadership. His legal and activist work has earned him both supporters and critics, but his resolve remains unshaken.
Obi’s visit to Farotimi comes after his meeting with former President Obasanjo, a figure widely regarded as a statesman and advocate for Nigeria’s unity.
