Peter Obi, Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last election has said Nigeria should celebrate the likes of Kekwaaru Ngozi Mary, a staff of Eko Hotel and Suites who returned misplaced $70,000 to a customer.
Mary was said to have returned the huge money in a remarkable display of honesty and integrity.
Reacting to this development on his Twitter handle on Saturday, Obi said “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.”
