Peter Obi Mourns Pope Francis, Shares Throwback Photos With Him by DesChyko: 6:47pm On Apr 21

I received with profound sorrow the news of the passing of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. His death marks the end of another era in the spiritual and moral leadership of the Catholic Church and the wider world.

Throughout his life and pontificate - during which I had the privilege of meeting him on three occasions - Pope Francis embodied the virtues of faith, hope, and compassion. He led with humility, spoke with wisdom, and acted with moral courage. He constantly strove to draw humanity closer to the ideals of peace, justice, and love. His deep concern for the poor, his steadfast advocacy for moral leadership, and his defence of human dignity earned him the admiration of people across all faiths and nations.

As a member of the Scholas Occurrences Foundation, founded by Pope Francis, I deeply appreciate his belief in education, dialogue, and youth empowerment as vital instruments for building a more just and compassionate world.

Pope Francis devoted his life to the service of God and humanity. His legacy will live on not only in the hearts of the faithful but also in the global conscience he helped shape with grace, clarity, and conviction. In an age marked by division and uncertainty, his voice remained a steady call to unity, mercy, and justice.

On behalf of myself, my family and millions of Nigerians who found inspiration in his teachings and example, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the universal Church. May God, in His infinite mercy, grant eternal rest to his gentle soul and guide the Church he so lovingly shepherded. -PO

Great men with no controversies.

The more you look at people like Peter Obi the more you understand why people who can't match his integrity always try to attack his personality. It is because he has something they can never have in this life, and that is integrity. All the money in the world cannot buy your integrity back once you've lost it. They may have so much money, but Peter Obi's integrity and organic influence will always make them feel insecure and powerless because he has things that their money cannot buy them in this life.

Who says it doesn't pay to be a responsible person

..

Grok always busting your asses 😌😌. Major takeaways about your Whatsapp Group picture according to Grok analysis:

1. Political Motivation: The article's likely purpose is political, aiming to undermine Peter Obi during his governorship.

2. Tactic of Discreditation: Sensational headlines to discredit rivals were a common strategy in Nigerian politics, suggesting the article may be a smear campaign by opponents.

3. Lack of Credibility: Scroll Nigeria is not a major, reputable outlet, and the article's tone indicates it may be political propaganda rather than a fact-based report.

But what about good governance?
It was on record that doctors went on strike for close to a year which resulted to many Anambrians migrating to Ondo state for medical services.
I remembered vividly then also that igbos were trooping to Lagos. We had so many igbo students in Lagos public schools. Especially in millennium schools that were built by Tinubu then. Egbeda, Ojodu, Ikorodu, Badagry and some other areas.

Peter Obi is far better than the other guy who Reno Omokri swore with every fiber of his being that he's a known drawg lawd.
