The Chaplain of the National Association of Catholic Corps members, Anambra State Chapter, Rev. Fr. Clement Muozobam, has described the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, as a man whose exemplary past “is compulsive reason Nigerians must talk about him, discuss him in symposia”.
The cleric also said that students should be encouraged to base their projects on different aspects of Obi’s fruitful life.
Muozobam gave the advice during the thanksgiving mass at the National Youth Corps camp at Umunya.
The Catholic said that he followed the trajectory of Obi’s governance in Anambra State and life after government and concluded that Nigerians needed, pious, humble and dedicated patriots like Obi if the country would move on.
Recalling the assistances Obi has continued to render to the association, the cleric said that what was intriguing was that he did all of that without his name being mentioned.
Also, at the event, the former Dean, Faculty of Arts, Nnamdi Azikiwe University and pioneer Chaplain of Catholic Corps, Anambra State, Rev. Fr. Boniface Obiefuna, extolled the virtues of Mr. Peter Obi.
He said that what Obi did in Anambra State would never be forgotten, especially the turning of the education sector 360 degrees to make it envious in Nigeria.
Obiefuna, who is also professor, called on the youth to remain steadfast in their endeavours and remain close to God at all times.
The highlight of the visit was the presentation of award of “Maxime Optimum Ducem” (Most Excellent Leader) to Obi.
Obi’s representative, Dr. Edozie Aroh, thanked the cleric for the recognition, which he said would spur the former governor to remain excellent in his ways.
