In anticipation of the February 25, 2023 presidential elections, Chatham House, a significant policy institute and think-tank forum, has invited Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) to speak about his ideas for Nigerians.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, is anticipated to attend the event in London, United Kingdom, on January 16, 2023. This gathering and its associated products are just one of many that focus on the 2023 elections in Nigeria.
On December 5, 2022, Bola Tinubu, an All Progressives Congress (APC) rival of Obi’s, gave a speech at Chatham House in London where he discussed some of his ideas for crucial areas like technology, education, the military, and the economy.
As part of the event, which drew harsh criticism, Tinubu also assigned some of his loyalists, including governors and MPs now in office, to respond to questions from attendees.
Obi, Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are the leading candidates in the 2023 presidential race.
One woman is running for president of Nigeria out of the 18 candidates, but experts says she has no chance of winning, and neither do the other 13 contestants.
According to the majority of analysts, only four candidates; Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), have a chance of winning or influencing the outcome of the presidential election in February 2019.
Peter Obi is the youngest of the four at 61 years old, despite the call for leaders from a younger age. They are all familiar with one another and with Nigerian politics.
