₦airaland Forum

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Mr Peter Obi, on Thursday, September 25, was conferred with Honorary Citizenship of Georgia following his participation in a series of events marking Black Congressional Week in Washington, D.C., with a particular focus on Georgia State engagements.

Obi joined U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock at the Congressional Black Caucus Week Reception in the Senate Kennedy Caucus Room, where discussions centred on strengthening African democracy and development. Senator Warnock, he said, encouraged deeper dialogue on Africa’s governance future.

The former Anambra governor also held talks with Ms Kim Clark, CEO of Georgia Power, which generates over 20,000 megawatts of electricity nationwide. Obi described the exchange as “deeply insightful,” noting that energy partnerships remain critical to Africa’s growth.

At the One Voice Africa forum, a platform defending Black immigrant dignity, Obi urged stronger advocacy for good governance in Africa, stressing that “the continent’s potential is immeasurable if led by visionary and responsible leaders.”

The day ended on a high note with the State of Georgia conferring Honorary Citizenship on him—an honour Obi said reinforced his commitment to “learning, serving, and building a new Nigeria that is truly possible.”

Yet some people are gloating that this man is nobody. How many other politicians in Nigeria have received such an honour? Is it the (a_ one whose certificate is the subject of controversy, or the (b) one who enters into the US, brings so much negative noise, or the (c) one who bought a house secretly and the only public official who can boastfully use RR?

Gentleman Obi, you are honoured once again

I’m not against Peter Obi’s ambition to be president but judging by his track record in leadership, I think he will plunge Nigeria into another civil war if elected
