NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, has said Nigeria requires competent, accountable and compassionate leadership to unlock its vast human and natural resources and place the country on the path of sustainable development.

Obi stated this in a post on his official X handle on Tuesday after participating in a high-level roundtable discussion titled “Nigeria in 2027 and Beyond,” organised by the European Council on Foreign Relations at its office in Berlin, Germany.

He said discussions focused on Nigeria’s democratic journey beyond 2027, development cooperation, international affairs and strategies for strengthening bilateral partnerships to accelerate economic growth.

The former Governor of Anambra State expressed appreciation for what he described as the strong interest shown by participants in Nigeria’s future.
