Peter Obi expressed his gratitude for the invitation, highlighting the significance of the event in fostering dialogue among leaders from various nations, particularly those from emerging democracies in Africa. He noted that the forum provided an invaluable opportunity for leaders to exchange ideas and learn from the experiences of others.
The event featured speeches from prominent U.S. political figures, including Hillary Clinton, former President Barack Obama, and former First Lady Michelle Obama, all rallying support for Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The forum was a gathering of over 200 distinguished political leaders from 91 countries, providing a unique opportunity for international leaders to engage with the American political process and reflect on its implications for their own countries.
