“ON MY WAY TO LAGOS TO INSPECT THE DEVELOPMENT IN MY LAGOS ESTATE CITY OF DAVID 2.0, I BUMPED INTO HIS EXCELLENCY MR PETER OBI, I APPRECIATED HIS EFFORTS FOR A BETTER NIGERIA. A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE,” he wrote.
Blord’s meeting with Peter Obi came at a time when he was still embroiled in a legal dispute with social media activist VeryDarkMan, popularly known as VDM.
The two reportedly met in court on Monday, April 27, marking their first encounter since Blord regained freedom after spending over 20 days in Kuje prison.
VDM had filed a case against the businessman over allegations bordering on fraud and copyright infringement.
The court appearance reportedly featured tense exchanges between both parties.
According to reports, Blord and his legal team approached VDM during proceedings in what appeared to be an attempt to lighten the mood.
It was gathered that the businessman tried to engage him in conversation and persuade him to withdraw the case.
However, VDM reportedly declined the request, insisting that he would not drop the matter.
He allegedly accused activist Omoyele Sowore of influencing the situation, stating that developments surrounding the case strengthened his resolve to continue.
