Peter Obi Cape Town meeting with former leaders Ian Khama and Thabo Mbeki has sparked reactions as discussions on unity and immigration gain attention.
There’s been some attention around Peter Obi after he shared details of a meeting he had in Cape Town before heading to Johannesburg.
He said he met with two former African leaders — Ian Khama and Thabo Mbeki — and from what he explained, it wasn’t just a casual visit.
From the way he said it, it didn’t even sound like anything too formal… more like he just used that moment to acknowledge them.

Especially for how they’ve been talking about those immigration issues that keep popping up across different African countries.
He also brought up the whole unity thing — how they’re still pushing for it.
That whole unity talk… you hear it everywhere.
But when you actually look at how things are playing out, it’s a different story.
And funny enough, that small part… that’s what people are really picking out from everything he said.
Issues around immigration and how Africans treat each other in different countries have been coming up more often lately, so seeing names like Khama and Mbeki still speaking on it — and being engaged — is something some people see as important.

Obi also mentioned that both men still carry a lot of weight across the continent, even after leaving office. And to be fair, that’s something many would agree with.
During the same trip, he also linked up with Kayode Fayemi at the Thabo Mbeki Africa Day lecture. Fayemi delivered a keynote there, talking about rebuilding unity and strengthening institutions across Africa — the kind of conversation that keeps coming up these days.
Since he shared it, reactions have been mixed. Peter Obi Cape Town meeting
Some people see it as a good sign — that he’s keeping those connections and staying involved in bigger African conversations beyond Nigeria.
Others are not really moved by it. For them, meetings like this are fine, but what matters more is what comes out of it in real terms.
At the end of the day, it’s one of those updates people will interpret differently. Some see value in the engagement itself, others are waiting to see if it leads to anything concrete.
For now, it’s just another moment that has people talking — depending on how they choose to look at it.

The lawyer made the comments in a post that quickly started making rounds on X and Facebook.
According to him, the painful part of Nigeria’s politics is that everybody suffers whenever leadership fails, including the same people defending the government every day online. Peter Obi Cape Town meeting
“When kidnappers invade communities and schools, they do not separate Tinubu/APC supporters from those who are against the regime,” he wrote. Peter Obi Cape Town meeting
He also questioned why many Nigerians still support the government even with the complaints about insecurity, hunger, and the economy.
People don’t really see Inibehe as somebody that waits for permission before speaking. Back during the EndSARS protests, his name was always flying around online because he kept speaking on what protesters were facing and criticizing how the government handled the situation. That period was really when many Nigerians started noticing him more. Continue reading here
