According to a statement on Tuesday, Obi and his team were received by the leaders of the factional group, including Oba Oladipo Olaitan, Chief Supo Shonibare, former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, Afenifere General Secretary, Chief Sola Ebiseni, National Publicity Secretary, Prince Justice Faloye, Organising Secretary, Bashorun Segun Sanni, Deputy Secretary-General, Alade Rotimi-John, and other members.

In the statement jointly signed by Oba Olaitan and Faloye, the group said Obi expressed gratitude to Afenifere for supporting his 2023 presidential campaign and for its consistent advocacy for good governance. Punch
