The former president also praised the presidential candidate for making the audacious decision to run for office outside of the two major parties in 2018. Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, Obi’s running companion, was beside him, along with party veterans.
Obi and Jonathan were still in the private meeting as of the time of this report on Friday night, thus details of the encounter are still unknown.
