Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aspirant, Peter Obi, is in the UK at, according to reports, the invitation of British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.
Obi, on Monday, shared photos of himself outside 10, Downing Street, the UK’s seat of government.
In one of the photos, the former Anambra governor posed with Lord Marland of Odstock.
“I just arrived at No. 10 Downing Street, London, for a meeting. Ran into Lord Marland of Odstock—full of warmth as usual. -PO,” Obi tweeted.
Who is the ‘lord’ standing with Obi in that photo?
