While in London, Peter Obi, a presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), met with government officials and Nigerians in exile, as he has revealed.
After identifying poor leadership, corruption, and a lack of accountability as stumbling blocks to Nigeria’s progress, Obi stated that the sessions’ primary goal was to restore the country.
This was revealed on Thursday by the ex-governor of Anambra State in a tweet on his X Twitter.
He left Basel, Switzerland, at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, October 21, and met with various British stakeholders after his arrival, he added.
According to Obi, he concluded the day by attending a meeting in London that was planned by the head of COPDEM and the NDC director of diaspora affairs. The gathering brought together other interested parties.

He asserts that the conversations revolved around the shared duty of Nigerians to liberate the nation from inept leadership and other obstacles that have persisted in stifling national progress.
His heart went out to the millions of Nigerians who had lost out on opportunities for good healthcare, education, and work because of the current state of affairs.
A nation where every life matters, where hard effort is rewarded, and where citizens have equal opportunities to thrive irrespective of their backgrounds or connections—that is what Obi believed Nigerians deserved.
“We must construct a Nigeria where the offspring of no one can rise to greatness without ever having met a relative,” he declared.
The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party also stated that Nigeria has to transform into a nation where the majority of its citizens benefit rather than just a select few.
