Obi made this statement in a post on his X account following his visit to the Nigerian Correctional Centre in Onitsha on Christmas Day. During his visit, Obi expressed his support for empowering inmates through skills training, which would better prepare them for productive lives after incarceration.
He shared, “In line with my policy of celebrating with the marginalized during festive seasons, I spent Christmas at the Nigerian Correctional Centre in Onitsha, where I joined the Archbishop of Onitsha and Grand Patron of Nigerian Correctional Centres to interact with inmates undergoing rehabilitation.”
Obi was impressed by the operational Skill Acquisition Centre at the facility, which, thanks to Archbishop Okeke’s efforts, is providing inmates with various skills. He also highlighted that inmates now have the opportunity to sit for the National Business and Technical Examinations Board exams at the center, and the National Open University of Nigeria has established a study center there.
“Education is a vital tool for national development, and I commend the establishment of these educational facilities,” Obi stated. He extended his gratitude to Archbishop Valerian Okeke for his continuous support and contributions. Obi urged the government to replicate such positive initiatives in other correctional centers, which would significantly enhance the rehabilitation of incarcerated youths, preparing them for more constructive lives and enabling them to contribute to societal growth.

APC Fires Back at Adeleke Over ₦300bn LG Funds Allegation, Blames Governor for Salary Crisis....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Osun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to claims by Governor Ademola Adeleke that local government officials under the party diverted about ₦300 billion meant for workers’ salaries.
Adeleke had made the allegation during a stakeholders’ meeting, accusing APC-controlled council officials of hijacking funds and forcing the state government to shoulder salary payments for local government workers, teachers, health staff, and pensioners for over a year.
He insisted he would not abandon workers, blaming the situation for delays in executing some state projects.
But in a statement, APC’s Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, dismissed the claims, accusing the governor of misleading the public and shifting blame.
The party alleged that Adeleke was responsible for the salary issues, claiming he refused to release electronic payment vouchers and other financial documents needed for processing payments.
APC also said pension-related records, leave bonuses, cooperative deductions, and other financial data had not been made available despite repeated appeals, insisting that funds were properly accounted for and available for use if approved.
The party urged pensioners and workers to seek clarification, insisting the situation could be resolved if the governor allowed due process to take place.
