Oburu expressed his appreciation for Methu's gesture, which came at a time when the Siaya Senator continues to recover and gradually prepare for a return to active political engagements.
"We are not enemies," Oburu said, acknowledging the senator's visit and the importance of maintaining good relations across political divides.
The meeting has also drawn attention because Methu belongs to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the ruling party associated with President William Ruto.
Oburu's remarks come amid growing political disagreements surrounding the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), particularly over its leadership and the party's direction ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The ODM leader also turned his attention to Senator Dan Maanzo over the controversy surrounding the party's certificate, accusing him of running away with the important document.
The disagreement adds another chapter to the political tensions surrounding ODM as different leaders continue taking positions on the party's internal affairs.
Maanzo has been mentioned in the dispute over the certificate, although the circumstances surrounding the document and the competing claims require further clarification.
Oburu's comments also come after several senior political leaders visited him following his hospital discharge.
On November 4, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi led a delegation of legislators to his Nairobi residence.
During that visit, Oburu thanked the leaders for their support and said he was recovering well. He also expressed his desire to return to parliamentary debates and active politics.
The latest remarks highlight the continuing political discussions within ODM as the country moves closer to the 2027 elections.
