Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, praises Ngozi Mary, a staff member at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, for her honesty and integrity in returning a misplaced sum of $70,000 to a hotel customer. He calls for national honors and recognition for individuals like Ngozi Mary and others who exhibit positive values and contribute positively to society, emphasizing the need to celebrate such individuals in the New Nigeria they desire.
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 honours 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.”
