Umar explained that the US tour would mostly be interactive.

According to the statement, the tour would allow Obi to answer questions, and unveil his mission for a new Nigeria.

The former Anambra state governor will also use the tour to react to the ‘unpalatable state of the nation’.

“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.”
