A statement by Ibrahim Umar of Peter Obi Media Reach in Abuja on Wednesday, said that the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections would end the tour on October 26.

Mr Umar said that during the tour, Mr Obi would visit three US cities of Houston, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

According to him, the former presidential candidate would interact with Nigerians in the Diaspora, in keeping with his avowed determination to lead the search for a new Nigeria.

He further stated that the tour would be the last leg of his North America Appreciation visits that had earlier taken him to Toronto, Canada, Boston, New York City, West Orange, Cherry, Dallas, Charlotte and Detroit.

Mr Umar said, “The tour is also to underscore Mr Obi’s commitment during the 2023 electioneering to consistently engage Nigerians in the Diaspora and interact with them constructively in nation-building debate for the creation of a new Nigeria. He will also use the tour to sustain a new narrative where, unlike before, politicians only visit the national population when seeking their votes and support but hardly returns after elections to show appreciation.’’

He added that the tour would also be mostly interactive, as it would afford Obi the opportunity to answer questions, unveil his mission for a new Nigeria and also react to the ‘unpalatable state of the nation.’

Mr Umar said that the former Anambra governor remained grateful to Nigerians at home and abroad for their continued show of unwavering support and their trust in him morally, materially and financially during the 2023 presidential elections.
