Peter Obi Demonstrates Lifelong Compassion, Says Papal Envoy

Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo, the Papal Nuncio to the Czech Republic, has lauded Mr. Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, for his enduring commitment to humanitarian service. He emphasized that Peter Obi's dedication to helping and caring for others is an integral part of his character.

Archbishop Okolo shared his testimony in Nnewi during his 40th priestly anniversary thanksgiving and 15 years as a Nuncio. He highlighted that Peter Obi's caring nature has been a consistent trait over several decades.

Recalling a personal anecdote from the 1970s when he was a schoolteacher at All Hallows Seminary in Onitsha before advancing to Bigard Memorial Seminary in Enugu, Archbishop Okolo spoke of a moment when he visited his younger brother, Jerry Okolo, at Christ the King College in Onitsha. At that time, the late Reverend Father Nicholas Tagbo, the College's Principal, generously provided cans of milk and packets of biscuits for Jerry.

"When I handed the items to my brother, he said that I should not have bothered because he had enough. He informed me that his classmate and friend, Peter Obi, would regularly visit his mother's supermarket, retrieve a carton of milk, and share it with all of them," narrated Archbishop Okolo.

Expressing his admiration for Peter Obi's character, compassionate lifestyle, and empathy towards humanity, the Nuncio encouraged him to continue his dedicated service to the nation.
