The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has donated ₦10 million each to the construction of the Anglican Hospital and the already established Anglican Comprehensive Secondary School in Kubwa, Abuja.
Obi made the donation on Monday following his return from the inauguration of the new head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, in Rome.
He disclosed this on X (formerly Twitter), noting that the Pontiff’s homily reaffirmed his conviction that eradicating poverty can only be achieved through deliberate sacrifices in critical areas of development such as health, education, and poverty alleviation.
“Upon my arrival in Abuja, I paid a visit to the construction site of the Anglican Hospital in Kubwa, which is a medium health facility being established by the Anglican diocese of Kubwa, after which I thanked the proprietor, Rt. Revd. Duke T. Akamisoko, for the great work he is doing and in my support of his noble initiative, I donated a sum of ₦10 million to advance his efforts,” he wrote.
The former Anambra State Governor revealed that he also visited the Anglican Comprehensive Secondary School in Kubwa, established by the same diocese.
“Again, education, as I have maintained,, is the most critical investment towards development. To support the great work being done by the diocese, I donated another sum of ₦10 million,” he said.
The politician stated that education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation remain the three most powerful tools for securing a better future for children and society.
He reiterated his commitment to promoting these causes, adding that they represent the most effective pathway to significantly develop Nigeria.
