Earlier, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 poll Peter Obi said that Kekwaru deserves national honour.
“When will Nigeria start celebrating the likes of Miss Ngozi Mary for her honesty and integrity, Teacher Akeem Badru, for winning the 2023 Cambridge Dedicated Teacher Award, and many others like them?
“These are the people who deserve to be given national honours and awards and recognition, instead of celebrating those who have impacted our nation negatively. In the New Nigeria that we desire, these are the kind of people that will be celebrated. A New Nigeria is POssible,” he wrote on social media.
Singer Davido has already given her some money as reward.
