Former Anambra state governor and presidential candidate of the Labour Party at the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Nollywood actor, Junior Pope.
While signing the condolence register, Obi also took a picture with the late actor’s children.
A Nollywood veteran and ex-spokesman of the Labour Party presidential campaign council, Kenneth Okonkwo, took to his Instagram account to share pictures accompanied by videos of the visit on Saturday 18 May.
Okonkwo’s caption read, ”HE Peter Obi arrived at the residence of John Paul Odonwodo, Junior Pope, to pay his condolences to his family over the sad, and untimely departure of their child, brother, husband, and father.
He consoled his mother, Mrs Maria Odonwodo, the widow, Jennifer, and his children.”
It would be recalled that the Nollywood star died on April 10, 2024, alongside three others after their boat reportedly capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a film location.
He was buried at his hometown, Ukehe in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, on Friday 17th May.
