Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, spent the first day of the year at the Rehabilitation Centre for Disabled Old & Tramp (RECDOT) in Ozubulu, Anambra State. The center is dedicated to housing children with special needs.
Surrounded by the company of the children, Mr. Obi expressed his gratitude for their prayers for Nigeria and encouraged them to persist in praying for the nation’s well-being. He emphasized the significance of caring for one another, particularly for the less privileged and those facing challenges.
“I thanked them for their earnest prayers for Nigeria and urged them not to relent but to continue to pray for our dear nation that we the leaders will always make the right decisions that will benefit the masses,” Mr. Obi remarked during his visit.
Expressing genuine concern for the lack of support systems for children with special needs, Mr. Obi stressed the importance of a caring government implementing policies and programs that provide medical attention and quality education for these children.

“I am again sincerely concerned about the children with special needs at the rehabilitation centre and those in other parts of the country, who due to the uncaring nature of political leaders, may not have the right support system to actualize their dreams in life,” he stated.
Commending charity homes, humanitarian organizations, and individuals supporting those with special needs, Mr. Obi called for more people to join the cause, envisioning a New Nigeria that leaves no one behind.
