The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has commended the hotel staff, Kekwaaru Ngozi Mary, for returning a misplaced sum of $70,000 to a customer.
Mary is a member of the staff of the Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos State.
Obi, in a tweet on Saturday, said the likes of Mary, the hotel staff, and Teacher Akeem Badru, who won the 2023 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Award, should be celebrated in Nigeria.
He wrote, “It is heartwarming and reassuring that despite the hardship in the country and the prevailing moral decadence in society, a staff member 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, awards, and recognition instead of celebrating those who have impacted our nation negatively. In the New Nigeria that we desire, these are the kinds of people that will be celebrated. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO”
