Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last election, visited the family of the late Nollywood actor Junior Pope to offer his condolences. The former Anambra State governor also signed the condolence register during his visit.
Kenneth Okonkwo, a Nollywood actor and former spokesperson for the Labour Party presidential campaign council, shared pictures and videos from the visit on his Instagram page on Saturday afternoon. He captioned the posts: “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.”
Junior Pope tragically passed away on April 10, 2024, along with three others, when their boat capsized on the Anam River in Anambra State while returning from a film location. He was laid to rest in his hometown, Ukehe, in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, on Friday.
