Obi remains role model to youths and political class - Archbishop Ugorji

Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the leader of the Labour Party, has been described as an obvious role model not just for the youth, but also for the political class in Nigeria, by the Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Archdiocese and proprietor of Holy Rosary College of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku.

The cleric eulogized Obi for his humility, compassion and care for society. He noted that Obi's exemplary conduct and virtuous life have made him a source of inspiration for many Nigerians.

Ugorji made the remarks at Holy Rosary College of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Imo State, when Mr Peter Obi visited the Nursing School and donated N10 million as part of his commitment to building a robust healthcare sector in the nation.

The Archbishop's remarks highlight Obi's growing reputation as a role model for ethical leadership and public service, which has resonated strongly with the Nigerian public, especially the youth.

According to a press release signed by Yunusa Tanko, spokesman of the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), the Archbishop explained that right from Obi’s years as the governor of Anambra State, Obi has remained a true citizen of the nation, who is consumed by the desire to contribute to the progress and development of the nation. He confirmed that through his decent lifestyle, Obi has continued to inspire millions of youths to do what is right.

"The political class should begin to emulate Mr Peter Obi, who though not in government, has continued to use his resources to contribute to the nation's development and make life better for the people.

"He lives above the walls of tribal and religious divisions to care for society. We follow the news and we see how he travels around the nation from the North to the South, East and West. He remains a shining example of citizenship to the youth and the political class. May God bless his endeavours, and grant his sincere desire to lead the nation better," Archbishop Ugorji said.

Addressing the nursing and midwifery students, Obi maintained that investing in health, which is a critical measure of development remains a vital tool for development.

He appreciated the management and staff of the institution for their efforts while encouraging the students to remain committed to their studies.
