Peter Obi, who was elected as the flagbearer of the Labour Party in May, has consistently said his focus will be on moving Nigeria from “consumption to production”.

The change occurs during the presidential election campaign in February 2023.

Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra and presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has flown out of Nigeria to “understudy Egypt’s education sector”. 

Obi announced the trip through his official Twitter handle on Tuesday.

He said the three-day visit to the north-eastern African country is to understudy its power, education, planning and finance sectors. 

“I just departed for Egypt on a 3-day visit as part of my detailed study of comparable countries to Nigeria,” he wrote.

“In Egypt, I am expected to understudy, among others, the Egyptian Power Sector, Education, Planning and Finance Sectors.”

The change occurs when the 2023 presidential election campaign is underway.

Meanwhile, Obi's choice to travel to Egypt has drawn a range of responses.
