On Thursday, Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and a candidate in the upcoming Nigerian presidential elections, returned to his alma mater, the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, for a campaign event. He participated in a town hall meeting where he engaged in a Students/Stakeholders interactive session and discussed issues related to the future of Nigeria. Obi, who is an alumnus of the university, stated that it was an honor to return to the place where he had received his education and to have the opportunity to speak with the students and stakeholders.
The town hall meeting was just one event of the day as the main rally for his campaign was scheduled to take place later at Michael Okpara Square, Independence Layout, Enugu. Obi’s visit to the university and participation in the interactive session was an opportunity to connect with the young voters and to discuss the key issues that will shape the future of the country. He used this opportunity to present his plans and vision for Nigeria and how he plans to address the major challenges facing the country.
One of Obi’s opponents, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, had campaigned in Enugu on the previous day. As the election campaign heats up, both candidates are making efforts to reach out to voters and connect with them on a personal level. The town hall meeting at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, was a prime opportunity for Obi to connect with the young voters and to discuss the key issues that will shape the future of the country.
