The opposition leader is on January 31 expected to fly again out of the country to attend the 14th edition of the annual Leadership Conference and Awards in Abuja Nigeria where he will make a keynote speech.

According to the conference organizers, Raila was invited as a keynote speaker because of his dream of Africa’s liberation from poverty through good leadership.

“The theme of this year’s conference, which is coincidentally taking place at a time the country is going into the general election, resonates well with Odinga’s sustained clamour for free, fair, credible, and hitch-free election," stated the conference organizers.
