Peter Obi Offers Scholarship To The Boy Who Stood In Front Of His Vehicle

The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has offered scholarship to Quadri Yusuf Alabi, the young boy who was incarcerated for standing in front of his vehicle.

Obi who made this revelation in a post on his Facebook, said he met with the boy and his family where he had an interaction and discovered the boy’s interest in education.

“I listened to Quadri today, and one thing stood out clearly: his unwavering desire for education. Despite all he has been through, his only dream is to return to school and complete his education and I will make sure he gets it.”

“His determination is not just inspiring; it is a call to action, and I am committed to ensuring that he gets the education he desires and deserves.”

The former Anambra State governor appreciated the efforts of the lawyers who played a huge role to ensure his release.

He wrote, “Today, I had the opportunity to meet with Quadri Yusuf Alabi, the young boy whose story moved us all. After enduring unjust and illegal incarceration, he is finally free, and I am very grateful to the lawyers led by @inibeheeffiong, who fought for his release and also @DeleFarotim and Ms Hassana Nurudeen,, whose constant intervention was instrumental in securing justice for the young lad.”

He further called for justice to be served to those responsible for his illegal incarceration. “In addition, we must not stop at his release. Those responsible for his illegal incarceration must be held accountable. As we strive to build a Nigeria where fairness and integrity prevail, we cannot afford to allow such acts of criminality to go unpunished.”

“I once again I thank the lawyers and everyone who stood and remained unrelenting for justice.”

“Together, we will build a Nigeria where education, freedom, rule of law, equity and justice, care and protection of the less privileged in our midst will stand as the foundation of our democracy”, he concluded.
