Obi’s Nationwide and International Tour
Peter Obi, who is currently on a “thank you” tour to engage with Nigerians in the diaspora, has been traveling across the United States to appreciate the Obidients and Nigerians who supported him during the presidential election. His journey has taken him from Nigeria to the United Kingdom, Canada, Washington DC, Charlotte, North Carolina, Tampa, Florida, and Dallas, Texas.
Inspiring Hope and Unity
With his trademark passion and charisma, Obi has addressed packed audiences, sharing his vision for a better Nigeria. He has emphasized the critical role of subnational entities in driving development and the need for effective resource mobilization to address challenges in healthcare, education, and poverty reduction.
Obi’s Message: Change is Possible
Obi’s message is clear: change is possible, but it takes time, effort, and collective action. He is not desperate to be president but desperate to see Nigeria work for all. He urges the diaspora community to harness its enormous power to impact change, just as China, India, and other countries have done.
Dismantling Structures of Criminality
Throughout his engagements, Obi has emphasized the importance of building a new Nigeria beyond tribe, ethnicity, and religion. He encourages dismantling the structures of criminality and building a new behavioral consciousness, a precursor to a brighter future.
