Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has been appointed Advisor to a forum of democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers, Club de Madrid.
Club de Madrid disclosed this in a post on its X handle on Tuesday.
The post reads, “On behalf of all of us, thank you @obyezeks for joining @ClubdeMadrid. Your leadership, vision, and commitment to democratic values are deeply appreciated.
“We are honoured to count on your voice as we work to advance inclusive democracy worldwide.”
Ezekwesili confirmed the appointment on her official X account on Tuesday while thanking the Spanish group.
The former minister stated, “I accepted the invitation to become an advisor to @ClubdeMadrid – Club de Madrid, ‘the world’s largest forum of democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers, who leverage their individual and collective leadership experience and global reach to strengthen inclusive democratic practice and improve the well-being of people around the world’.
“As our global context becomes even more complex, the leadership vacuum delays solutions to ‘global public Bads.’
“I therefore deeply appreciate how these former leaders of democracies around the world continue to dedicate themselves to helping solve our global challenges and amplify opportunities for cooperation. Delighted to support,” she said.
