Stop Demarketing Nigeria At International Forums Sowunmi Advises Peterobi

Barely 24 hours after urging Peter Obi to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Segun Sowunmi, the partys chieftain, has advised the 2023 Labour Party Presidential candidate to think Nigeria first and stop demarketing the country.

Sowunmi offered the advice in his reaction to Obis X post, in which the ex-presidential candidate, during his visit to Johns Hopkins University in the United States, compared Nigerias economic growth with China, Vietnam and Indonesia from 1990.

In his analysis, Obi said that in 1990, when the Human Development Index HDI measurement started, Nigeria, China, Vietnam and Indonesia were all classified under the medium category of the HDI measurement.

According to Obi, between 1990 and 2025, the three other countries moved up to the high category of HDI, while Nigeria fell into the low category.
