Kanayo O. Kanayo, the actor, has shared how Peter Obi gave him N250k as a surprise for his mother’s funeral, leaving people amazed. Despite being the governor of Anambra State, Kanayo was unable to be present at the burial. Nonetheless, he revealed in an interview with Afia TV that was published on Thursday that Obi made a thoughtful gesture by calling and sending a token.
“In 2011, I was to bury my mum and I had many senators I had friends and I wrote to all of them. Two weeks after the funeral, Peter Obi called me at 1 am in his little voice, o sim ‘nwanne I just got your letter, I know the burial is over, You know I would have come if I had seen the letter’.
“He sent me exactly the price of a cow. You know somebody would have thought he would give you two million for burial in 2011.”
“I think he went to the market and priced the cow, the cow was 250k and that is what he sent to me. But the story here is he was the governor but he had time to call me.”
