Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has revealed that he held meetings with British government officials and Nigerians living abroad during a visit to London.

Obi disclosed that the engagements focused on finding solutions to Nigeria’s leadership challenges, corruption and lack of accountability, which he described as major barriers to the country’s progress.

The former Anambra State governor made this known in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

He explained that he arrived in London from Basel, Switzerland, at 7 am on Wednesday, October 21, before proceeding to meet with various stakeholders in the United Kingdom.

Obi said his activities for the day concluded with a meeting organised by the COPDEM chief and the NDC Director of Diaspora Affairs, with several other stakeholders in London also in attendance.

According to him, the discussions highlighted the shared responsibility of Nigerians to rescue the country from ineffective leadership and other persistent challenges affecting national development.

He expressed concern that these problems had left millions of citizens without adequate access to essential services such as quality healthcare, education and decent jobs.

Obi maintained that Nigerians deserved a nation where every individual was valued, diligence was rewarded and everyone had a fair chance to succeed, regardless of their background or personal connections.

“We must build a Nigeria where the child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody,” he said.

The former Labour Party presidential candidate further stressed the need to build a Nigeria that serves the interests of all its citizens rather than benefiting only a privileged few.
