Peter Obi explains major reason many countries deny Nigerians visas

Peter Obi, the 2027 Democratic Congress presidential candidate, has shed light on the primary reason behind many countries refusing to grant visas to Nigerians. During a town hall meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Obi made this observation, stating that no rich individual would welcome the poor. He further elaborated, "No rich man will open their door for poor people, that’s why many countries are denying Nigerian visas."

Obi also shared his vision for Nigeria once he completes his transformative initiatives, noting that Nigerians would likely avoid international travel, even when applying for visas becomes more straightforward. As the NDC flagbearer in the upcoming 2027 elections, Obi is joined by ex-Kano State governor Rabi'u Kwankwaso as his running mate, having defected from the African Democratic Congress in May due to internal disputes and legal issues.
