Peter Obi speaks on policy and governance reforms @ Chatham House on Monday

January 16, 2023 by AFRIPOL 2 Comments

“Peter Obi, presidential candidate for the Labour Party, discusses his vision for policy and governance reforms in Nigeria” on 16 JANUARY 2023 — 1:00PM TO 2:00PM at Chatham House, London England.

Labour Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, “a former governor of Anambra State, discusses his vision for policy and governance reforms in Nigeria, including the priorities for tackling deep-rooted insecurity and corruption, and measures to promote social and political mobility for Nigerian citizens.”

The “event is a members and Africa programme event and is part of a series of events and outputs examining Nigeria’s 2023 elections and political developments..”

“Nigeria is scheduled to hold presidential and national assembly elections on 25 February as well as governorship and other subnational elections on 11 March.

The elections end President Muhammadu Buhari’s two terms in office since his election in 2015 and mark the first time he is not a candidate in a presidential election in 20 years – an important marker in Nigeria’s trajectory of democratic consolidation.

Nigeria’s Electoral Act, enacted in February 2022, has contributed to improved hope around the election process, reflected in the addition of 12.29 million new voters, 9.51 million of which were then validated, in Nigeria’s voter registration exercise, bringing the total number of registered voters to more than 93 million.

Nigeria stands at a critical juncture, having suffered from two recessions in the past six years, unprecedented levels of physical and food insecurity, persistent fuel scarcity, and high levels of crude oil theft.”

Civic fatigue also remains an important challenge and Buhari’s three main policy pillars of security, economy, and corruption continue to be defining issues for citizens.”

    The consumption of this discussion is primarily for Nigerians and international consulting institutions. The international bodies like Au, EU and probably United Nations officials and World Bank may be interested too. I do not think that the guest will be paid any money or given any gratitude for participation. It is solely educational and informative session.
