Obi calls for genuine spirituality among Nigerians

The former Gov. of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has called for genuine spirituality among Nigerians. Speaking  at the Vatican City after the canonization of Mother Theresa, Obi said that the life of St Theresa of Calcutta was an illumination of service to God through serving of her people.

Calling on Nigerian churches to emulate St. Theresa's heroic virtues, he decried those that use the instrumentality of the church to deceive the people, submitting that God would pay those people according to the merits or demerits of their deeds.

Obi who took the opportunity to renew his call for close collaboration between church and state for the service of the people said as governor, the lives of people like St. Theresa of Calcutta inspired him. "People like St. Theresa of Calcutta strengthened my resolve to render certain services to our people through the church such as the return of school to them and the collaboration with them on health."

Mother Theresa of Calcutta was canonized  by Pope Francis 1 at St.Peter's Basillica, Rome.

This is about an ex-Governor who is in Rome in relation to what pertains to his Faith. So if a Muslim Governor, either serving or past goes to Mecca for his pilgrimage what will be the "certain reactions"?

I wonder why Seun recalled him. He was sacked sometimes ago in 2014.

Okwute Igbo, you were the saving grace of Ndi Anambra in this time of economic recession.
Long live Peter Okwute
