Obi made the lovely event public on his X handle, previously known as Twitter, on Thursday, May 16.

He said he was touched by the courage of the young lad, which made him think of such a brave action. He encouraged him to keep up with it.

Obi said that when he inquired about how Tolu knew about him, the brilliant kid replied that he had been following him since the election days and was inspired by the flowery things people around him said about the politician.

Obi said:

"I urged him to study hard and resist the temptation to follow the crowd when it is wrong. In that moment, I envisioned a brighter future for the boy child, and for entire Nigeria, led by young trailblazers like Tolu, who will excel in various fields and bring positive change. With the best education and a strong moral compass, this young boy and every boy child will rise above their challenges and shine as beacons of hope to shape a better tomorrow for their generation."
