Labour Party leader and 2023 presidential hopeful Peter Obi extended his U.S. “thank-you” tour by visiting Houston, Texas, where he held discussions with members of the Nigerian diaspora.
Posting on his verified X account, Obi highlighted the gathering as a “valuable opportunity” to interact with Nigerians overseas and to understand their concerns. He urged the diaspora to “keep the faith” and support the push for a “New Nigeria,” drawing inspiration from diaspora contributions in other countries, such as China, Japan, and India, toward their national growth.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support, which fuels our movement toward a just, equitable, and productive Nigeria,” Obi posted. “Together, we are laying the foundation for a New Nigeria that is within reach.”
The Houston visit represents Obi’s ongoing efforts to engage with the Nigerian diaspora, recognizing their essential role in shaping Nigeria’s future. The event provided an open forum for communication, fostering a stronger bond between Nigerians living abroad and those in the homeland.
Obi’s commitment to diaspora outreach and his vision for a “New Nigeria” continue to resonate with Nigerians domestically and internationally. His series of engagements emphasizes his dedication to national unity and a prosperous future for all Nigerians.
