Where Peter Obi celebrated Easter will melt your heart

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate in the 2023 general election, has cautioned prisoners from feeling hopeless and alone because everyone in jail in Nigeria is looking up to God for release and salvation.

Mary Magdalene, the first person to discover the resurrected Christ, was once unholy, but today she is reformed and privileged to discover the rising of Christ even before the Apostles, according to Obi, who celebrated Easter mass with the prisoners at the Correctional Centre in Onitsha, Anambra State.

“What that means is that being in prison is not the end of life as they could get corrected and enjoy salvation even before the so-called free people.”

During the Easter mass celebrated inside the Correctional Centre with approximately twelve other priests, His Grace Valerie Okeke, the Archbishop of the Onitsha Catholic Archdiocese, delivered a sermon during which he said that if Mary Magdalene could change to become one of the first people to benefit from the resurrection of Christ, then so too would those incarcerated there become outstanding members of society and before God.

The inmates’ joyous dancing in their various cultural groups and their shouts of gratitude for Obi as their friend and father were the highlights of the Easter celebration with the prisoners, which Obi has been performing since his tenure as governor of Anambra State (2006–2014).
