Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, reacted to Ngozi Mary, a member of the staff of the Eko Hotel in Lagos, returning $70,000 that had been misplaced by one of the hotel’s patrons.
Mary, in Obi’s opinion, merits national honor and recognition.
In a message posted on his verified Twitter account on Saturday, the former governor of Anambra State stated that Mary’s decision to return the money to its rightful owner in the face of adversity and widespread moral degeneration was uplifting and comforting.
Instead of honoring people who have had a detrimental influence on the country, according to Obi, it is her preferences that merit a national award.
He wrote, “It is heartwarming and reassuring that despite the hardship in the country and the prevailing moral decadence in society, a staff of Eko Hotel and Suites, Kekwaaru Ngozi Mary, was reported to have returned a misplaced sum of $70,000 to a customer of the hotel in Lagos.
“When will Nigeria start celebrating the likes of Miss Ngozi Mary for her honesty and integrity, Teacher Akeem Badru, for winning the 2023 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Award, and many others like them?
“These are the people who deserve to be given national honors and awards and recognition, instead of celebrating those who have impacted our nation negatively. In the New Nigeria that we desire, these are the kind of people that will be celebrated. A New Nigeria is POssible.”
