A Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Paul Ebubedike, has shared a throwback photograph of the former governor of Anambra State and now presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, eating with student priests in their refectory at the Bigard Memorial Seminary, Enugu.
Fr Ebubedike said as governor of Anambra State Peter Obi attended morning Mass in the seminary and proceeded to the refectory with the students to have breakfast with them.
In the photo shared, Peter Obi was sighted eating Okpa and pap for breakfast with young priests in the Seminary refectory, an act that depicted a life of humility.
Fr Ebubedike captioned the photo: “Sometime in 2015 at BIGARD MEMORIAL SEMINARY ENUGU…
”I could remember vividly that very DAY after Morning Mass, Peter Obi unknown to the Rector and College of Formators, followed the students to the refectory for breakfast. The amazement that filled the refectory was mind blowing. We all paused to watch him dissect his Okpa with pap to cap it. Fr. Ukoro Igwe our Rector couldn’t believe it.
“Believe you me, Peter Obi is no hypocrite whatsoever,” he wrote.
