Peter Obi Delights New Couple With His Presence At Lagos Wedding
By Benjamin Abioye
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has been gaining significant attention for his approachability and genuine interactions with ordinary Nigerians. This has made him a beloved figure among many citizens.
Peter Obi’s willingness to attend events and engage with people from all walks of life has distinguished him as a leader who values simplicity and empathy. His actions have consistently demonstrated his commitment to being accessible and supportive, especially to those who need it most.
Critics have, however, suggested that Obi’s public engagements are strategic moves to win votes.
However, recent events indicate that his interactions are genuine. Dr. Mo (@Drmopaul) shared an illustrative incident on social media.
About a month ago, Dr. Mo accompanied Peter Obi on a six-state thank-you tour in the United States. At the BWI airport, while traveling from Dallas, Texas, to Washington, D.C., they were approached by Opeoluwa Solalu, a DHS employee. Opeoluwa asked for a photo with Obi and invited him to his wedding. Despite his busy schedule, Obi expressed his intention to attend.
Upon returning to Lagos, Obi made a determined effort to find the wedding venue, even after searching for over an hour. His presence brought immense joy to the newlyweds and their guests.
Additionally, Obi gave a substantial gift to the couple and some attendees, further demonstrating his generosity.
This behavior mirrors Obi’s tenure as a governor, where he often attended local events quietly to offer support and encouragement. He believes in the importance of connecting with ordinary Nigerians, stating, “They are the ones who need my advice, encouragement, and support.”
Opeoluwa expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Sir, for who you are and for the sacrifices you are making for Nigeria.” This sentiment is echoed by many who have experienced Obi’s kindness and authenticity firsthand.
Public reactions on social media further highlight the widespread admiration for Obi:
