Nigerian Needs Leaders Like Peter Obi, Says Catholic Bishop


Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Abakaliki, Most Rev. Dr. Peter Nworie Chukwu, has described former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as a leader who understands Nigeria’s pressing needs and is well-equipped to address them.

He said hope remained alive with individuals like Obi despite Nigeria's current challenges.

Speaking through his representative, Diocesan Health Coordinator, Rev. Fr. Chidi Obasi, at the Mater Misericordiae College of Nursing Sciences, Afikpo, Ebonyi State - where Obi donated ₦10 million for infrastructural improvement, the Bishop emphasized the importance of strong leadership in shaping Nigeria’s future.

He commended Obi for his commitment to education, healthcare and poverty alleviation, sectors critical to national development.

Mater Misericordiae Hospital, founded in 1946, is one of Nigeria’s oldest healthcare institutions, with its Schools of Nursing and Midwifery established in 1952 and 1953, respectively.

Over the years, it has trained thousands of nurses and midwives who serve in various capacities across the country and beyond. The hospital operates within the unique Catholic tradition, integrating academic excellence and moral discipline to produce well-rounded professionals.

Welcoming Obi on his maiden visit, the Hospital Administrator, Rev. Fr. Simon Isueseni, expressed gratitude for his consistent support of the health and education sectors.

He highlighted pressing infrastructural challenges, including the need for hostel completion, additional buses for student transportation, modern learning equipment, and essential medical devices such as X-ray and dialysis machines.

He described Obi’s visit as a historic moment for the institution, reaffirming his humanitarian commitment.

Addressing to the students, Obi emphasized the vital role of healthcare professionals in national development, urging them to remain dedicated to their training.

He reiterated that investing in human capital remains the surest way to build a strong and prosperous Nigeria. The school’s management acknowledged his contributions, affirming that his understanding of societal challenges makes him well-suited to provide lasting solutions.

Appreciating Ebonyi State Government for collaborating with the institution in the overall interest of the people, Obi urged students to take their studies seriously, especially in light of the projected shortage of healthcare workers.

He recalled his stance against policies that made it difficult for Nigerian nurses to travel abroad, explaining that while he supports their right to seek better opportunities, he encourages them - like their Indian counterparts - to find ways to contribute to their home country over time. He reminded them that, despite all challenges, “there is no place like home.”

Reflecting on Nigeria’s current state, Obi challenged leaders to ask themselves the critical question: what kind of country do they plan to bequeath to the younger generation?

He lamented the hardships Nigerians, including students, face today and stressed the urgent need to reclaim society from those who have misgoverned it.

Amazed by the scale of the institution - one of the largest of its kind he has seen in Nigeria - Obi stated that his ₦10 million donation was for the previous year, 2024, and assured the institution that he would return with another donation for 2025.

In his vote of thanks, Fr. Obasi expressed gratitude to Mr. Obi for his visit, especially for his commitment to officially becoming a partner to the school. He also requested that Obi convey their appreciation to the Governor of Ebonyi State whenever they meet, for the significant support he is providing to the institution.

His visit left the students inspired, reinforcing his dedication to strengthening key sectors and ensuring a better future for Nigeria.

Why will the father not say so when Obi as governor favoured Catholic against other denomination. Yeye people. If it were to be Kuka the Northern cos I like him for his straight forwardness not this Oloriburukus who are so tribalistic and religious fanatics.

The Catholic bishop saying this because OBI donated stolen money to his church business men claiming religious leaders 😆😆

Igbo praising another Igbo is nothing new or special

Obi presidency, will be for the Igbo by the Igbo.

You lots said tinibu built lagos
But from what we are seeing now, he only built bourdilon not Lagos. Building Nigeria is now a tough nut to crack.

You are just yapping because your heart is filled with hate for anything Igbo. Is tinibu better than Obi?

My happiness is that tinibu is not better.

The same useless peter obi who has no tangible achievement he can point at in Anambra state?

My president, the man loved and voted by every Nigerian not the cursed mandate thief that have ruined Nigeria . Look around you at the people criticizing Peter Obi and realize they are only the same well known failures and that will tell you the stuff HE Peter Obi is made of

Even God forbids bad thing.

Never in Nigeria we would vote such calamity like Peter Obi with no tangible track records

Presidency is not about condolence visiting

Dr. Peter Nworie Chukwu.

Stop sweating bro. Wait for like a decade and let the likes of Ikpeazu show interest in the presidency, that's when you will start hearing how Ikpeazu extended development to Pluto when he was Abia state governor

I honestly don't think Nigerians would take their words serious again. They have been joking around on even important things

Mbanda:
You lots said tinibu built lagos
But from what we are seeing now, he only built bourdilon not Lagos. Building Nigeria is now a tough nut to crack.

Bro T is actually doing an excellent job

Do you really think that Nigerians would ever, take yorubads words serious again in 2027 after lying to Nigerians that tinibu built lagos and we are not seeing anything to show for that lie now that he is president?
The major problem with you yorbads is that you people lie a lot.

Secondly, you talked about ikpeazu and how Igbos will try to present, him if he should declare his interest in 10yrs time.

Well, what is the difference in what you said about ikpeazu and, what you lots did for tinibu in 2023?
Did you lots not say that tinibu built lagos and the whole of yoruba land?

helinues:
Even God forbids bad thing.

Never in Nigeria we would vote such calamity like Peter Obi with no tangible track records

Presidency is not about condolence visiting

But the calamity you supported and voted is now worse than anything we can think of. Do you think you are dealing with people that can't see or what?

How can you be proud to say things against Obi when you know, that the Messiah you voted is not doing well. No be JuJu be that? You and your likes are not supposed to be talking, you should cover your faces in shame.

You get shame at all?

Mbanda:
You are just yapping because your heart is filled with hate for anything Igbo. Is tinibu better than Obi?

in reality.....Obi is by far better than all politicians we have seen for now....but hate, envy n bitterness will not allow them see it....they rather prefer d devil than Obi

Expect the other type of Yorubas ( the local Sharia Yorubas) to invade this good thread

Ojiofor:


Igbo man is more Nigerian than you can ever be, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe is a founding father of your so called Nigeria. .

Well I'm not a Nigerian though,I'm a Yoruba.

..... would we vote.......
Half baked graduate

So what is your business with whoever aspires to serve Nigeria?

*FLASHBACK:

"YOU WILL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES IF OBI IS NOT THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA:*

*"As you already know, I am already 94 years old. I will be enjoying in my grave soon and you will suffer, particularly the youths of this nation if you fail to vote for peter Obi. We know what we are saying. It is not everything we can talk about in the public" -Pa Ayo Adebanjo(2022).*

Rest In Peace 🙏

Is this a serious question asked by a sane human being? I'd like to believe you are joking comparing Tinubu, who is the greatest politician post our 1999 return to democracy, to the clown and fraud called Peter Obi.

If you are a sane human, you would have stated how tinibu is better than Obi, instead of diverting the conversation to insults.

In your feeble mind, tinibu is the greatest politician because he is holding lagos state to ransom. Is that not what you mean?
Nigeria is speedily driving to the state of comatose, under the watch of your so-called "greatest politician". The problem with you lots is that, you don't have an atom of shame in you.
