Peter Obi Addresses Global Leaders on Governance and Security in Athens
Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State, recently participated in a Leadership Dialogue in Athens, Greece, alongside global leaders, former presidents, prime ministers, military chiefs, and renowned academics.
The event focused on governance, democracy, security, and economic challenges facing today’s world, with a particular emphasis on lessons for future leaders.
In his presentation, Obi identified several factors contributing to insecurity in Africa, urging leaders to recognize the significant global and generational transformations occurring.
He highlighted the critical need for enhanced collective security, poverty alleviation, and efforts to reduce injustice and inequality across societies.
Obi pointed out the alarming statistics regarding poverty in Africa, noting that over 50% of the world’s multidimensionally poor live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
He emphasized the severe challenges faced by countries like Nigeria and Congo, where over 60% of the population experience poverty and inequality.
He addressed the troubling rise of non-state actors assuming security roles in some African nations and stressed the importance of investing in key development areas, such as health and education, to combat these issues.
“Future African leaders must take bold, accelerated, just, and transformative actions to achieve far-reaching, people-centred development,” Obi stated.
He called on African leaders to confront insecurity directly and reassure citizens of their government’s capacity to maintain security without relying on non-state actors.
Obi concluded with a strong message, asserting that Nigeria possesses the resources needed for meaningful change and reaffirming his commitment to steering the nation toward a more positive future.
“A New Nigeria is Possible,” he declared, inspiring hope for a better tomorrow.

U.S. President Donald Trump has hailed Lionel Messi as the biggest football star in the world right now. Speaking after Chelsea’s dominant 3–0 win over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday night, Trump praised the Argentine legend, calling him a global icon.
