AWKA, Nigeria – The Senator Representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Red Chamber, Senator Victor Umeh, has congratulated the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 Presidential Election and the National Leader of LP, Mr. Peter Obi, for clinching the 2023 Sun Newspaper Political Icon Award.
Senator Umeh in his Congratulatory Message on behalf of himself, family and the people of Anambra Central, stated that it was an Award most deserved by Obi.
Umeh, the Chairman Senate Committee on Diaspora and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), extolled Obi’s style of politics, which, he said, focused on Developmental Issues, Ethical and Moral Rebirth in the country.
According to the Anambra Central Senator, “His (Obi’s) Revolutionary Political Strides during the Campaigns aroused Nigerians from their slumber and inspired in them the consciousness that a New Nigeria is indeed possible!
“Despite the controverted Outcome of the Polls, Obi chose the Path of Due Process and the Rule of Law in ventilating his disapproval of the Process that birthed the Outcome of the Election.
“With the Conclusion of the Election and the Final Judgement of the Supreme Court in the disputed Polls, Obi has moved on with candour and has not withdrawn his Efforts at seeking a better Nigeria, as he has continued to move round Nigeria to lift the morale of the downtrodden Masses and offering them succour!
“With his exemplary display of civility and engagement throughout the Political Process, Obi easily stood out as the Hero of the 2023 General Elections!
“His gale swept across the Country in a manner never witnessed before in the Political Contests in Nigeria.”
Umeh expressed gratitude to the Management of the Sun Newspaper and its Publishers “for giving the Honour to the most deserving unusual Politician in our Country.”
He prayed God to continue to grant good health to Mr Obi as he keeps making his Contributions towards strengthening Democracy and Good Governance in Nigeria.
