Peter Obi Visits St. Martin’s Orphanage And Home For The Lonely Adults, Donates ₦10 Million

BY BONIFACE Okeke

The former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, today paid a visit to St. Martin’s Orphanage and Home for the Lonely Adults in Igboukwu, Anambra State. The institution is run by the Catholic Diocese of Ekwulobia under the spiritual leadership of His Eminence, Peter Cardinal Okpaleke.
Mr Obi described the visit as deeply moving, noting the selfless and humanitarian service being rendered to some of the most vulnerable members of society - orphans and elderly persons without family or support. In support of their mission, Mr Obi donated the sum of ₦10 million, which, according to him, is a modest gesture of encouragement to a cause that exemplifies love, compassion, and service to humanity.

He praised the Diocese for its dedication to upholding human dignity, stating, “Their work is a shining example of the Church’s mission in action.” Mr Obi also assured the management of his continued closeness and support, urging other well-meaning Nigerians to remember and support such institutions in their charitable endeavours. “May we never forget,” he said, “that a society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable.”

Mr Obi was warmly received, on behalf of the Proprietor, His Eminence Peter Cardinal Okpaleke, by the Chancellor of the Diocese, Rev. Fr. Lawrence Nwankwo, who expressed the Diocese’s profound joy and appreciation for the visit and generous support. He conveyed the Cardinal’s blessings and reiterated the Church’s commitment to caring for the most vulnerable in society.

The Manager of the facility, Rev. Sr. Clemencio Agba, described Mr Obi’s visit as a great source of encouragement to both the staff and residents. She highlighted the daily challenges of running the home and noted that the donation would go a long way in enhancing the quality of care provided.

Sr Clemencio commended Mr Obi’s consistent compassion and advocacy for the poor and marginalised, describing him as “a true friend of the forgotten.” She also used the opportunity to call on other members of society - individuals, organisations, and government authorities - to emulate such acts of generosity and support institutions that cater to those most in need. “It is only through our collective effort,” she said, “that we can build a more caring and compassionate society.”

I'll like to set up an orphanage some day.

There is nothing like damage control. Google Peter Obi's donations across Nigeria. He gave Annunciation specialist hospital in Enugu, which is close to my house 15m recently, Shanahan Nsukka; 190m since they started building Nursingschool, shanahan University Onitsha; 50m.

Google is your friend as someone above me said

Omo.. This man money long o. What a life of charity.

Obi goes around doing good. The other stays in abuja spreading evil and wickedness then run to Paris to rest.
