Former Governor of Anambra State and ex-presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has said he is not afraid of visiting any state in the country.
He stated this on Thursday in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Obi was reacting to a statement credited to Edo State Governor, Mr Monday Okpebholo, who reportedly said that Obi must seek clearance before visiting Edo.
Obi said: “I am not afraid of visiting any state in Nigeria, particularly when the purpose is to support causes that contribute to nation-building, such as education, health, and poverty alleviation.”
He expressed disappointment over the controversy surrounding his recent visit to Benin City, saying the visit was not political but aimed at supporting healthcare development in the state.
“I went to Benin to invest in a better life for the people. If they have good doctors and nurses, life will be better for them. What I expect the governor to do is to complement efforts aimed at improving society,” he said.
The Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke, who received a donation from Obi on behalf of the school, commended Obi and other old boys for their contribution to education and national development.
The school’s Senior Prefect, Master Ejike Ekene, described Obi as a "role model" and thanked him for the generous donation.
