Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) have been scheduled to speak on diverse issues relating to Nigeria’s forthcoming election at Chatham House in London.

This is coming weeks after the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, addressed the international affairs body regarding his policy plans for the country.

According to details obtained from Chatham House website, Obi was to speak on ”A vision for policy change and institutional reforms” on Monday while Kwankwanso would address “Service delivery and policy alternatives in Nigeria” on Wednesday.

The statement reads: “Peter Gregory Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, discusses his vision for policy and governance reforms in Nigeria, including the priorities for tackling deep-rooted insecurity and corruption, and measures to promote social and political mobility for Nigerian citizens.

“Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), discusses his policy ideas for improving systems and services in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the country’s education sector and the wider priorities for ensuring secure and inclusive service delivery.”

Despite his appearance at the Chatham House, Tinubu had come under severe criticisms over his continued refusal to participate in the debates and town hall meetings organized by different organizations ahead of the polls.
