The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has assured that a better Nigeria is within reach.
Obi in a post made on X said he was in the United Kingdom on Sunday, March 2, and proceeded to Cambridge for scheduled meetings with development experts.
According to Obi, his discussions with the experts centred on suggested solutions to challenges confronting Nigeria.
He also revealed that he travelled back to London for the launch of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s new novel, Dream Count, at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.
He noted that Adichie’s conversation with journalist and author Elizabeth Day was insightful and kept the over 3,000 audience fully engaged throughout the event.
Obi wrote, “The event was not only a celebration of literary excellence but, more importantly, a testament to the immense potential our beloved nation holds if we invest in the most critical measures of development reflected in the Human Development Index (HDI): education, healthcare, and lifting people out of poverty.
“Coupled with my earlier discussions on turning around our struggling nation and the exhilarating performance by @ChimamandaReal, I am convinced that with the energy and brilliance of our youth, a collective commitment, and guidance through good governance, the dream of a better Nigeria is within reach.
”I remain confident that all hope is not lost,” he said.
