Peter Obi has promised to retire to Onitsha as a secondary school teacher to inspire students.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has revealed his plan to retire as a secondary school teacher in Onitsha to inspire young minds.
Obi shared this intention on Friday while engaging with final-year students at Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha, as part of activities to celebrate the International Day of Education.
According to him, “I was just passing by when I decided to mark the International Day of Education here with you. I told myself there was need for me to come here and speak to students.

I also know that tomorrow will mark the 100 years of existence of this school, so I came to be with you.
Education is the most important thing in your life. It is the most important capital, equipment that you need to be successful. That you are here is a sign that you’re already a success.
I’m here to encourage you, you are acquiring the best and some of you are potential governors and presidents and you must take your education seriously.
In this school in 1970, I was at the gate here to salute General Gowon who visited, and joined other children to sing for him, but through education I was able to grow to the point where I sat with him on the same table and made decisions.
I hope to retire to Onitsha someday, and take up a teaching job to inspire children.”
