Obi, a former Anambra State Governor, also congratulated Liberian former Vice President Joseph Boakai on his victory against the incumbent in the keenly-contested election.
Weah lost his re-election bid to Boakyi, whom he defeated with a wide margin in the second-round presidential vote in 2017.
On Friday, November 17, 2023, the Liberian electoral commission announced that the opposition leader scored 50.9% of the vote over Weah’s 49.1%. Following the announcement, President Weah congratulated his opponent on his victory and thanked the people of Liberia for peacefully exercising their rights.
