The Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is to speak at Chatham House about his Presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 election on January 16, 2023.
Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, is to attend the event in London, the United Kingdom.
Chatham House, also known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is an independent policy institute headquartered in London. Its stated mission is to provide commentary on world events and offer solutions to global challenges.
In a tweet on Thursday, Chatham House Africa announced the invite, saying: “Nigeria’s 2023 Elections: In conversation with @PeterObi.
“The second of our events examining #Nigeria’s 2023 elections and political developments will take place on January 16, 2023.”
On Thursday, Katch Ononuju, Special Adviser to Peter Obi on Public Affairs reaffirmed the Chatham House engagement, saying former Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council Director General, Dr Doyin Okupe, was arrested by the Department of State Security (DSS) while “on his way to London as part of the advance party for Peter Obi’s Chatham House Engagement.”
Obi’s rival, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu had on Monday, December 5 made an appearance at Chatham House in London, where he revealed some of his plans for major sectors like defense, economy, education, and technology.
Tinubu’s performance at the event generated mixed reactions with many knocking him for delegating questions to his campaign members who were with him at the event and others praising him for what they described as an exemplary leadership trait.
