Famous novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has prayed for the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2019 elections, Mr. Peter Obi, praising him โfor your compassion and your circumspection, for your honesty and your humour.โ
Describing Obi as her โbig brotherโ, Chimamanda in a Facebook tribute to Obi, who recently clocked 60, also wrote: โThank you for honouring our parents when they were here โ your many long visits in Abba, regaling them with your stories, both of them amused, Mummy calling you her โfirst son,โ Daddy chuckling from time to time.
โThank you for walking this bitter journey of grief with my siblings and me.โ
Chimamda prayed for the immediate past Anambra State Governor, saying: โMay your years ahead be filled with joy and meaning.โ
She concluded in Igbo with the words, โO ga-adili gi mmaโ (It will be well for you). โChukwu dube giโ (May God keep guiding you).
