In the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, the erstwhile presidential candidate of the Labour Party, had a significant meeting with a Labour Party MP during his UK visit.
He shared his thoughts on this meeting through his social media handle.
In the heart of London, UK, I had the opportunity to engage in a meaningful conversation with Florence Eshalomi, a Labour Party MP and the Shadow Minister for Democracy. Our discussion was insightful and revolved around the reinforcement of democratic values.
This interaction highlighted the crucial role of international dialogues in bolstering democratic ideologies.
Florence Eshalomi MP reciprocated with a response, expressing her pleasure in meeting Mr Obi. She acknowledged the growing presence of the British Nigerian Diaspora in the UK and their active involvement in events back home. She commended Mr Obi’s fervor and vision for a prosperous Nigeria, a vision that resonates with many and is a common aspiration.
