Mr Obi disclosed this in a post on X on Friday, following his participation in the Black Congressional Week events in Washington, DC.

He said the day began with the Congressional Black Caucus Week Reception at the U.S. Senate Kennedy Caucus Room, hosted by Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock.

According to him, Senator Warnock encouraged him to speak on African democracy and development.

Obi also met with Georgia Power, the state’s largest independent power company, where he discussed energy generation and distribution with its chief executive officer, Kim Clark.

He wrote, “Second was an engagement hosted by Georgia Power, the largest independent power company in Georgia, which generates and distributes over 20,000 megawatts of electricity nationwide. My conversation with the company’s CEO, Ms Kim Clark, was deeply insightful.”

He further participated in the One Voice Africa event, a forum that advocates for the dignity of Black immigrants.

At the gathering, he urged participants to take a greater interest in promoting governance across Africa.

“I urged them to take a greater interest in promoting good governance in Africa, noting that Africa’s potential is immeasurable if led by visionary and responsible leaders,” Obi stated.

Peter Obi described the conferment of honorary citizenship of Georgia as the highlight of the day.

“Finally, the highlight of the day was the conferment of Honorary Citizenship of Georgia on me by the State of Georgia. For me, the day’s events were about learning, serving, and remaining committed to building a new Nigeria that is truly possible,” he said.
