The former Anambra State governor appeared amused by the stream of digital gifts, which reportedly included flowers, lions and universe tokens, alongside playful filters that placed caps, glasses and moustaches on his face.

Reacting to the experience, Obi said with a smile, “I am wondering what is happening to me this evening.”
