Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state has publicly
apologized to his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi, asking him to forgive and forget
anything he might have done to him.
The former and present Governors (Peter Obi and Willie
Obiano) were old students of the Christ the King College, Onitsha. Their paths
crossed at the burial mass of their School Principal Reverend Father Nicholas
Tagbo, and Obiano swallowed his pride, despite the crowd, and apologised on the
premises of their alma mater.
He repeatedly said how sorry he was in the presence of
thousands of former schoolmates and a large number of priests who were there to
honour the late renowned teacher and principal.
That move instantly gained Governor Obiano favors and love
from the people of Anambra State as they hailed him for his humility and peaceful
nature.
Reacting to the development, Governor Willie Obiano said
that he deemed it wise to make the move in the spirit of the late Reverend
Father who taught them love and forgiveness.
Former Governor Peter Obi in his reaction said that as
Christians, it is important to forgive and whatever they, as leaders are doing,
the interest of the children of Anambra State should be paramount.
The Archbishop of the Catholic Diocese of Onitsha and
Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Niger, Most Reverend
Valerian Okeke, blessed the reconciliation.
