A video showing a sizable gathering of people posing for pictures with Peter Gregory Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party's presidential candidate for 2023, as soon as he arrived in Canada, has generated mixed responses on social media.
Dr. Mose Paul invited Canadian citizens and residents to an event that would encourage reflection and capacity building on the topics of inclusive government and capacity building. The session would be facilitated by Peter Obi. But then attention was drawn to a viral video that appeared online, showing Peter Obi being greeted with enthusiasm as he arrived in Toronto.
The video showed a crowd of people excitedly posing for pictures with the former governor, demonstrating his appeal and influence outside of Nigeria.
Online debates were sparked by the film, with some people praising Obi's welcome and others considering the significance of his travel to Canada in light of his political aspirations.
