Former Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, participated in the International Leaders Forum (ILF) in Chicago.
The 11th ILF is taking place from August 19-22, alongside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Illinois.
Hosted by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) every four years since 1984, the forum gathers senior politicians and policymakers from around the globe to observe the American democratic process.
Obi shared on X that he was invited “along with two other eminent Nigerians and about two hundred other distinguished political leaders from over 91 countries, including former Heads of Governments.”
He expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am honored and grateful to Senator Thomas Daschle and the Board of NDI for the gracious invitation to participate in the 2024 International Leaders Forum (ILF) on the sidelines of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.”
