Denis Onyebuchi, father of the 19-year-old girl, Covenant Onyebuchi who donated her entire savings to Peter Obi’s electioneering campaign has disclosed her reason for taking such an action.
The teenager caused quite a stir when she handed an undisclosed amount of money to the Labor Party presidential candidate during his visit to Enugu on Tuesday.
Speaking on his daughter’s decision to give away the money, Onyebuchi told newsmen in Enugu on Wednesday that his daughter received divine instruction to give the money to any good and humble man who would commit it to her future.
He said: “My daughter has been saving the money and when I enquired from her why she was saving, she told me that she received divine instruction to give the money to any good and humble man.
“A good and humble man who will be committed to affecting her future positively.
“Covenant is very humble; very prayerful and a committed Christian.
“So, when she heard that Peter Obi was in the neighborhood, for an interview at the Urban Radio around our house, she told me she was going to give Obi the money.
“And before I moved to join her, she was already on her way to meet Obi.
