Under the scorching Abuja sun, former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga arrived at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, touching down at 1:45 PM GMT+1. Stepping onto the presidential wing, Odinga was warmly welcomed by Nigerian officials, including Ambassador Chris Iyama, convener of the upcoming International Conference on Africa’s Democracy (ICAD) 2025. With a firm handshake and words of appreciation, Iyama acknowledged Odinga’s esteemed presence at the highly anticipated summit.
Excitement filled the air as Odinga made his way through the airport. His participation in ICAD 2025, scheduled for July 22–23, has generated major interest among political leaders, civil society actors, and youth advocates across the continent. Widely respected as a statesman and pro-democracy icon, Odinga’s insights on credible elections, economic transformation, and institutional accountability are among the most anticipated segments of the conference.
As he joins a lineup of influential African voices, Odinga is expected to help shape critical conversations on governance, sustainable development, and the future of African democracy. The conference organized by CYPA Africa and supported by media partner LN247, will be live-streamed to ensure a broad audience across Africa and beyond can engage with its thought-provoking sessions.
