Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has celebrated Eko Hotel staff, Mary Ngozi Kekwaaru, for returning the $70,000 misplaced by a customer.
Obi in a tweet commended the hotel staff for the rare patriotic act which he noted, was a good image booster for the country.
The former Anambra State Governor challenged the Federal Government to celebrate folks with integrity like Ngozi to motivate the youths for good moral behaviour.
“It is heartwarming and reassuring that despite the hardship in the country and the prevailing moral decadence in society, a staff of Eko Hotel and Suites, Kekwaaru Ngozi Mary, was reported to have returned a misplaced sum of $70,000 to a customer of the hotel in Lagos.
“When will Nigeria start celebrating the likes of Miss Ngozi Mary for her honesty and integrity, Teacher Akeem Badru, for winning the 2023 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Award, and many others like them?
“These are the people who deserve to be given national honours and awards and recognition, instead of celebrating those who have impacted our nation negatively. In the New Nigeria that we desire, these are the kind of people that will be celebrated. A New Nigeria is POssible,” Obi tweeted.
