Former Anambra State governor and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has once again stirred public admiration after being spotted personally serving food at a community event in Umuchima, Imo State.
The act, which was captured in a now-viral video, has earned the politician renewed praise for his trademark humility and grassroots connection.
The event, held in the serene town of Umuchima, appeared to be a local celebration attended by community leaders and guests.
Peter Obi, who arrived at the venue in a modest convoy and was accompanied by members of his team, drew attention when he stepped away from formalities to take part in the food service — personally dishing meals and interacting warmly with attendees.
Dressed in his usual simple black attire, Obi moved between tables as he smiled, greeted guests, and helped distribute food in what many described as the highlight of the gathering. His team followed behind respectfully, allowing him space to connect directly with those present.
