Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi has fulfilled his promise to Ms Gimba Sophia, the graduate he met who could not afford to buy an oven worth seventy-five thousand Naira.
It could be recalled that the former Anambra state Governor held an international press conference after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Bola Tinubu president-elect.
During the press conference, he confirmed that he will be taking legal action after losing the election.
Part of the video from the conference captured the moment Peter Obi burst into tears as he recalled meeting a graduate by the name Ms Gimba Sophia who couldn’t afford an oven to start her baking and confectionery business.
Days after sharing the sad story, Mr Obi has now fulfilled his promise to help the graduate acquire an oven to kick start her business. He presented a cheque to Ms Gimba Sophia.
Sharing pictures of the cheque presentation, He wrote:
“Today, I fulfilled my pledge to assist Ms Gimba Sophia Emmanuel in her aspiration to acquire an oven and start her baking and confectionery business. Interestingly, she had indicated that she would procure a Nigerian made oven, thus enhancing the value chain and putting into effect the production to consumption mantra.”
