As Peter Obi shared details of the meeting alongside photos from the visit, the post quickly drew reactions from many Nigerians. Supporters, critics, and followers showed interest in the engagement between the former governor and the European Union delegation.
@EmekaEzeanya said:
"Onitsha, not Aso Rock. EU Ambassador at PO’s table. No red carpets, no drama, just straight, enriching talk that moves nations. This is what leadership looks like when it’s not auditioning for the cameras. The world is already choosing its partners. Nigeria should too."

"The money you wasted on this meaningless jamboree of a visit could've been used to help the poor people around you with meaningful, life-changing projects. Not like this ultra-ancient water supply project you did in the North."

"When you see a President in the making and the aura he commands without being in office yet, then you can imagine what will happen when he takes full control of the nation. The world will know that Nigeria is back in business, and all Africans will be proud of their giant again. Sanity and credibility will be restored from day one, and the Naira will appreciate by more than 30% against the USD immediately."
Peter Obi discloses why he switches parties
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Peter Obi explained why he frequently changes political parties. He said he leaves when members abandon principles for transactional politics and personal interests over governance reform.
Obi, in a recent Arise TV interview, said he left APGA for PDP due to conflict with his successor, Willy Obiano.
He added that even the PDP failed to meet expectations and was described as transactional. Obi insisted he is open to switching parties repeatedly if necessary to promote political change ahead of the 2027 elections.
