Obi listed unemployment, corruption, poverty, and inequality among the variables militating against security and tranquil co-existence in Africa, disclosing over 50 per cent of the African population is multi-dimensionally poor.
“I adjunct global leaders, former presidents, prime ministers, serving and retired senior government officials, military chiefs, renowned academics, sports personalities, and others in Athens, Greece, for a Leadership Dialogue focused on governance, particularly in the areas of security and the frugality in today’s world, and the lessons for future leaders.
“In my brief presentation, I emphasised that as leaders, we must acknowledge the profound global and generational transformations confronting us. Despite vast human and material resources, there remain significant unmet needs in global governance,” a statement on Saturday signed by the spokesperson of the Peter Obi Media Reach, Ibrahim Umar, quoted Obi.
