Obi announced his engagement with Nigerians in the U.S in a video posted on social media, which according to him, will start from Wednesday, Aug. 31 to Saturday, Sept. 3.

“The events will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, Aug. 31; Washington D.C. on Thursday, Sept 1; Atlanta on Friday, Sept 2; New York on Saturday, Sept. 3.

 

“I look forward to meeting all of you there and God bless all of you,’’ he said in the video.
