Photographs shared online showed Obi exchanging greetings with the monarch, including a moment when the two men were seen shaking hands inside the palace.

The visit attracted attention on social media after the NDC spokesperson published the photographs, prompting users to share their observations and reactions to the meeting between the presidential hopeful and the traditional ruler.
