The 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi’s philanthropic initiative nationwide has been noted to reflect his broader vision for a prosperous Nigeria built on justice, equity, and good governance. 

By addressing critical gaps in education and healthcare, the 2023 presidential  candidate of Labour party has demonstrated how targeted investments can drive national development as his leadership inspires hope for a future where resources are used ethically to build a better society.

Represented by Dr. Tanko Yunusa, he stressed, “Peter Obi’s philanthropic efforts extend beyond Gonigora. He recently pledged ₦120 million to the Holy Rosary Sisters for educational and healthcare initiatives and donated ₦10 million to the College of Nursing Sciences in Amichi to support healthcare education. 

“His contributions have also benefited flood victims in Anambra State and educational institutions like St. John of God Secondary School and Our Lady of Lourdes College of Nursing Sciences. These acts highlight his commitment to uplifting communities through targeted investments in education and healthcare.

“As governor of Anambra State, Obi transformed the region through prudent management and strategic investments in infrastructure, education, and healthcare. His governance philosophy emphasized transparency and accountability, leaving Anambra debt-free with improved public services. 

“Today, he continues this legacy by advocating for ethical leadership and encouraging wealthy Nigerians to support societal development.

“Obi’s actions have galvanized the Obidient Movement into a force for good. Members now actively contribute to societal welfare, mirroring his values of compassion and service. The scholarship awarded at Gonigora is just one example of how this movement is fostering a culture of giving that prioritizes human needs over their greed.”

He further explained that the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has redefined leadership by championing philanthropy aimed at meeting societal needs. 

According to him, “This transformation has inspired the Obidient Movement, whose members now emulate his philosophy of using resources to address critical challenges.”

He added, “Once known for his slogan “We no dey give shishi,” signifying his refusal to indulge in bribery or financial inducements, Obi has evolved into a symbol of purposeful giving.”

Once known for his slogan “We no dey give shishi,” Ejembi stated that it is signifying that his refusal to indulge in bribery or financial inducements, saying that Obi has evolved into a symbol of purposeful giving. 

“This gesture exemplifies his belief that wealth should serve humanity rather than personal greed. Inspired by this ethos, an Obidient member in person of Com.
