Breaking: Peter Obi Addresses Nigerians In Washington, Speaks On His Plans For 2027

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has, today, spoken in Washington, D.C., United States, where he addressed Nigerians and shared details of his approach to governance, particularly his efforts to reduce the cost of running government.

Speaking during the engagement, Obi highlighted what he described as significant savings made while he was governor, using the renovation of government facilities and his official residence as examples of his approach to prudent spending.

According to Obi, the budget for refurbishing his office was ₦298 million, but he said the work was eventually completed for ₦48 million. He also disclosed that ₦486 million had been budgeted for the refurbishment of his official residence, but the project was completed for ₦81 million.

Obi further spoke about government-funded travel and the expenses associated with official trips. He explained that governors were expected to travel with large entourages, sometimes involving about 30 people, but said he largely travelled alone because the invitations were directed to him rather than to an entourage. He claimed that, throughout his years in office, he did not utilise 16 percent of his travel allowance.

The former Anambra State governor presented these examples as part of his broader argument for reducing waste and improving efficiency in government. His comments come as he continues to articulate his vision for Nigeria ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The Washington, D.C. engagement provided Obi with an opportunity to speak directly to Nigerians in the diaspora, answer questions and explain how his experience in public office informs his plans for the country.

His remarks on the cost of governance are likely to generate debate about public spending, government accountability, the size of official entourages and how scarce public resources should be managed.

Watch the full report as Peter Obi speaks from Washington, D.C., and reveals how he says he reduced the cost of governance while serving as governor, as well as his broader vision for Nigeria ahead of 2027.

Na the Washington guys and the online people with no PVC go make him win.

Later he will say na him win election.

Politics is local...not social media noise.

He can't even get as much vote he got in the last election this time around. Many of the lies are bursted.
The few Christians who were deceived to buy the Muslim- Muslim poison are now wise when they see how the obedients now abuse the fathers of faith in Nigeria.
