Peter Obi’s Genuine Love for Nigerians Evident in Private Moment

Abuja, Nigeria — June 28, 2025

Hon. Amb. Justin Kingland, national Spokesman of the Directorate of Mobilization, for Obidient Movement, and founder of the New Nigeria Is POssible (NNPO), has shared a touching personal encounter that sheds light on the genuine character of Mr. Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State and leading voice for good governance in Nigeria.

Recounting the incident from a recent engagement while on Mr. Obi’s entourage, as he was in the same vehicle with his Excellency, Amb. Kingland described how Obi reacted firmly when his personal driver made a reckless steering move that seems endangered to some other road users.

“To my surprise, Peter Obi, who seated calmly in the front seat and I was in the back seat behind him, immediately rebuked the driver, scolded him harshly for attempting to frighten the vehicle by the side of the car which Peter Obi was in, because of him,” “Don’t endanger people’s lives because of me, drive carefully and observe the safety of the pedestrians’” ~Peter Obi

Amb. Kingland emphasized that this was not a public show or performance, there were no cameras, no media, and no crowd to impress. It was a private moment that revealed Obi’s true nature: a man deeply committed to the lives, dignity, and well-being of everyday Nigerians.

“That moment proved to me that Peter Obi’s message of compassion, justice, and equity is not a campaign strategy; it is who he truly is,” he added.

Amb. Kingland called on all Nigerians to recognize the rare authenticity and heart of service that Peter Obi consistently demonstrates, both in public and in private.

“In a nation yearning for leaders who put the people first, Peter Obi stands tall as a symbol of humility, accountability, and empathy. This is the kind of leadership Nigeria needs to move forward.”
