The Catholic Archbishop of Owerri Archdiocese and Proprietor of Holy Rosary College of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, has described the leader of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as an obvious role model not just to the youths but also to the political class.

Ugorji made the remarks at the Holy Rosary College of Nursing Sciences, Eme­kuku, Imo State, when Obi visited the Nursing School and donated N10 million as part of his commitment to building a robust health­care sector in the nation.

The Archbishop ex­plained that right from Obi’s years as the Governor of Anambra State, Obi has remained a true citizen of the nation who is consumed by the desire to contribute to the progress and develop­ment of the nation.

He confirmed that through his decent life­style, Obi has continued to inspire millions of youths to do what is right.

“The political class should begin to emulate Mr. Peter Obi, who though not in government, has con­tinued to use his resources to contribute to the nation’s development and make life better for the people.

“He lives above the walls of tribal and religious di­visions to care for society. We follow the news and we see how he travels around the nation from the North to the South, East and West.

“He remains a shining example of citizenship to the youth and the political class. May God bless his endeavours, and grant his sincere desire to lead the nation better,” Archbishop Ugorji said.

Addressing the nursing and midwifery students, Obi maintained that in­vesting in health, which is a critical measure of devel­opment remains a vital tool for development.

He appreciated the man­agement and staff of the institution for their efforts while encouraging the stu­dents to remain committed to their studies. (Sunday Independent)
