Speaking on Saturday, the former Governor emphasized his belief in Nigeria’s potential, encouraging the community to remain hopeful and actively involved.

According to Obi, Nigeria has the potential to become a nation where reliable systems operate effectively, a move from a consumption-focused economy to one centered on productivity, and a country where every citizen has an equal chance to thrive.
Reflecting on his purpose, Obi described the visit as part of his “Gratitude Tour” to connect with Nigerians in various parts of the world. He underscored that these conversations are more than just a call for optimism—they represent an invitation to be part of the movement for a new Nigeria. He urged the community in California to trust that this vision could be realized through collective efforts, unity, and sustained commitment.
In his message, he expressed heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support of the diaspora, emphasizing how crucial their backing is in propelling the movement toward a Nigeria that is just, equitable, and productive. “Together,” Obi stated, “we can lay the foundation for a New Nigeria that is truly possible.”
Wrapping up, he encouraged the Nigerian community to continue believing in a brighter future. “Your support fuels our movement, and with your help, we can make the dream of a fairer, more prosperous Nigeria come true. Let’s work together to make this New Nigeria a reality,” Obi concluded.
