In a heartwarming display of nostalgia, Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, made a significant visit to his alma mater, Christ the King College (CKC), in Onitsha, Anambra state. The visit coincided with the institution's grand celebration of its 90th Founders Day anniversary.
The former governor of Anambra state took to his X page (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, November 26, to share a series of captivating photos, providing a glimpse into his trip down memory lane. The images showcased Obi's heartfelt moments as he toured the premises and engaged with the current generation of students at CKC.
Obi, who once walked the same halls as the current students, joined in the festivities to mark the momentous occasion of the school's 90 years of existence. The visit not only stirred emotions among the school community but also attracted widespread attention and admiration from Nigerians across the nation.
