The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has urged government at all levels to invest more in education and health.
He made the call in his goodwill message at the traditional
marriage of Mr Peter Uwaezu and Precious Ante in Abuja on Sunday.
It was gathered that Precious is the daughter of Mr Offong
Ante, a strong member of the Obidient Movement.
Obi, who was represented by Dr Moses Paul, the
Secretary-General of the Obidient Movement, said education and health play
vital role in the development of the country.
According to him, it is important for government to
concentrate on education and healthcare as well as the general wellbeing of
citizens.
He said government must care for the youth, women and the
less privileged.
Obi also urged Nigerians to focus on competence when
choosing leaders.
“I will continue to speak to Nigerians to never relent, to
continue standing and insisting on what is right,” he said.
Obi said that Ante was his birthday mate and a strong
stakeholder in the Obedient Movement.
“That is the reason I am here, to also be a part of the
celebration.
“He is a man of vision, purpose and a serious minded person.
“I wish him long life, good health and sound mind,” he said.
Ante, in his remarks, expressed gratitude to God on his 70th
birthday and his daughter’s traditional marriage.
“Today is my birthday, 70th birthday; the same day my only
daughter, Precious Ante, is being given out in marriage,”
he said.
He expressed gratitude to God for the success of the
ceremony.
Also speaking, his wife and mother of the bride, Joyce, said
she was now fulfilled.
“This is the day I have been praying for.
“I am giving my daughter out in marriage and today is my
husband’s 70th birthday. So I am happy.
“My husband is a good man, who ensures he provides for the
family.
“I pray that God Almighty will uphold him, keep and continue
to strengthen him to see more years,” she said.
She advised the couple to love each other and ensure they
involve God first in all their affairs.
The first son of Ante, Emmanuel, said that his father had
made an incredible impact on his children.
The groom, Mr Peter Uwaezu, said he was grateful to God for
making the day a happy one.
“I pray the Lord will grant us all our hearts’ desires,” he
said.
