Obi shared the compliments when he met Uzodimma at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport while visiting Imo on his campaign tour.

Obi, who arrived at the airport before Uzodimma, said he waited for the latter upon hearing that he was already airborne, as a sign of respect for the Imo governor.
