“I once washed British Airways in-flight toilet – Peter Obi reveals”
The former Governor of Anambra State and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has cited an experience from his time as a serving governor to underline what he described as his problem-solving and leadership qualities.
Obi made the disclosure earlier this week during a Space chat on with his supporters, known as the so-called Obidients.
Recounting the incident, Obi said the episode occurred during a flight on British Airways several years ago.
“We were coming back on British Airways years back; I was a serving governor. The entire toilet was messed up. She opened that toilet to use it; it was messed up and she walked away,” he said.
According to him, rather than ignore the situation, he decided to clean the toilet himself after the previous user walked away.
‘I Cleaned It Because I Might Use It Again’
Obi said his action surprised a member of staff who later discovered the toilet had been cleaned.
“I went in there, and she came back. The entire place was cleaned. She didn’t even tell me, but she told a minister and somebody else where she works in the office,” he said.
Quoting the woman, Obi added, “She said, ‘I can’t believe this’.”
He explained that his reason for cleaning the toilet was simple and practical.
“The people called me; I said I cleaned it because maybe I would be the next person that would go back there to use it,” Obi stated.
The former Anambra governor used the story to urge Nigerians to take responsibility when they encounter things that are wrong, instead of looking the other way.
“When you see things that are wrong, clean them. I don’t have house help in my house; everybody knows that. Let us stop all this fake life,” he said.
However, British Airways had yet to react to Obi’s claim as of the time of filing this report.
