The Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has advised those in authority and policy makers to begin now to plan for post-COVID-19 measures.

He said while concentrating on how to ameliorate the immediate suffering of the people, leaders should look beyond now to plan how to help the people after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Obi spoke through the Chairman of his COVID-19 Palliative Committee, Prof. Chinyere Stella Okunna.

Okunna led other Committee members to Mater Misericordae Hospital, Afikpo; Visitation Hospital, Umuchu,; Diocesan Hospital, Nnewi and St. Felix Hospital, Nnewi.

The four hospitals received cartons of face masks, drugs, hand sanitizers and hand gloves.

During the presentation of these items, Prof. Okunna said it was Mr. Peter Obi’s way of identifying with the suffering masses at this time of global distress.

She said Obi commended the efforts of hospitals and their personnel that were at the frontline of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conveying the sentiments of the receiving hospitals, the Manager of Diocesan Hospital, Nnewi, Rev Canon Emeka Igwilo thanked Mr. Peter Obi for his continued expression of love for humanity.

Noting what he called Obi’s “good and pleasant nature as well as manifest leadership qualities”, he said those qualities aided him to succeed as governor of Anambra State and will certainly aid him to succeed in any environment he would find himself.

Other members of Obi’s Palliative Committee are former Commissioner for Information, Anambra State, Chief Joe-Martins Uzodike; former Commissioner for Housing Anambra State, Dr. Patrick Obi and Special Adviser to Peter Obi, Barr Valentine Obienyem.

Our correspondent reports that Obi had shared palliatives, especially food items and in some cases cash, to various communities in Anambra State and other areas during the lockdown and after.
