Peter Obi Hails Alma Mater

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi has paid tribute to Christ the King College (CKC), Onitsha, Anambra State for emerging victorious at the prestigious World Affairs Challenge (WAC) 2024.

CKC, which is the secondary school Obi attended, represented Nigeria at the competition, securing the coveted global first-place position on Wednesday, marking the first time Nigeria is clinching Gold in the competition’s 32-year history.

Reacting to the feat on a post on X Obi said the news was heartwarming, and bold testament to the true greatness and unlimited potential of the Nigerian people.

He recalled that earlier in January, the school won the awards of both National Champions and Regional Top in the Africa Regional competition of this same World Affairs Challenge and urged them to remain focused on the global victory.

He said he is glad that they have now lifted the global title and brought honour to the nation which according to him reinforces his consistent position on the need to invest in education.

He said CKC Onitsha, was among the schools he returned to the donor agencies, and supported heavily, as the Governor of Anambra State and expressed delight at the great heights they have so far attained.
