Former Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and other notable Nigerian political figures, including Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, are attending the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, the United States as Special Guests of the National Democratic Institute (NDI) based in Washington DC.<\/p>\n

Former Senate President Ken Nnamani was also at the Convention, while the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, was also invited, but it remains unclear if he accepted the invitation.<\/p>\n

The National Democratic Institute, a non-profit and non-partisan organisation founded in 1983, promotes democratic values worldwide.<\/p>\n

It supports democratic institutions through technical assistance to political parties, civic groups, and election processes, with a focus on citizen participation, transparency, and accountability.<\/p>\n

Osinbajo’s presence underscores his growing international engagement since leaving office in May 2023.<\/p>\n

The involvement of these distinguished Nigerians at the convention highlights their commitment to global democratic practices and their intention to enhance governance and democracy in Nigeria through international insights.<\/p>\n

The Democratic National Convention, a significant event in the US political calendar, serves as a platform for discussing policies and strategies and formally nominating the party’s presidential candidate, currently US Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

It also offers global leaders a chance to participate in discussions shaping international political trends.<\/p>\n

Osinbajo, Obi, and other Nigerian leaders\u2019 participation demonstrates Nigeria\u2019s active role in the global democratic community and their dedication to learning from global experiences to improve governance at home.<\/p>\n
