Peter Obi Inspires Nigerians Abroad in Atlanta with Vision of a New Nigeria
Peter Obi has wrapped up his North America Thank You Tour, meeting with the Nigerian diaspora in an open forum in Atlanta, Georgia.
Obi, a prominent political figure and advocate for a reformed Nigeria, spoke passionately about his vision of a “New Nigeria”—a nation where institutions function, laws are respected, and citizens have equal opportunities to succeed.
The forum, attended by Nigerian Americans and Georgia State legislators, highlighted Obi’s message of unity, resilience, and progress.
During his interaction, Obi urged attendees to remain steadfast in their belief in a better Nigeria, one built on merit and justice.
He emphasized the need for a society where every citizen, no matter their background, has a chance to rise above poverty and build a stable, fulfilling life.
The vision of a New Nigeria, he explained, is not a dream for the distant future but a tangible goal that, with collective effort, can be achieved.
Obi expressed profound appreciation for the contributions of the Nigerian diaspora across North America.
He acknowledged their ongoing support for the country, whether through community-building, or advocacy, calling their efforts essential in sustaining Nigeria through challenging times.
He encouraged them to stay involved, adding that their influence and investment in Nigeria’s future are crucial to building a thriving nation.
The tour, which took Obi to cities across the United States and Canada, was both a celebration of Nigerian resilience and a rallying call for transformation.
As he closed his North America tour, Obi left the crowd with a powerful reminder: the dream of a New Nigeria is not only possible—it is achievable.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
