ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – In the spirit of the easter season and his unrelenting charitable gesture, the Labour Party Presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi on Sunday visited St. Martin’s Orphanage and Home for the Lonely Adults, Igboukwu and donated the sum of ₦10 million to assist in the running and sustenance of the home.
Precise Post recalls that the institution is part of the Catholic Diocese of Ekwulobia that provides critical care and support to orphaned children and elderly individuals who have no one to care for them.
Moved by the institution’s selfless service to society’s most vulnerable, the former Governor of Anambra state made a donation as a gesture of support and encouragement for the home’s continued operations. “This is a modest contribution to a cause that exemplifies love, compassion, and service to humanity,” Obi remarked.
Expressing gratitude for the work being done by the Diocese under the leadership of Peter Cardinal Okpaleke, he commended their unwavering commitment to human dignity and the common good, calling their efforts a “shining example of the Church’s mission in action.”
Peter Obi assured the Diocese of continued support and urged others to consider such homes in their charitable efforts. Adding that a society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. With our collective support, a new Nigeria is possible,” Obi stated.
