Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in 2023, Mr. Peter Obi, was part of dignitaries that attended the funeral mass and interment of the former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr. Solomon Arase, in Edo State on Friday, October 3, 2025.
Mr. Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, in a post on his X (former Twitter) platform, said that Dr. Arase, the immediate past Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), served Nigeria “with patriotism and dedication,” noting that his “contributions to national security and his reforms within the Police Force will remain impactful in our dear nation.”
While extending his condolences to, and prayers for strength and comfort for, Arase’s family, friends and colleagues, on behalf of his family, and the Obidient family, Obi pointed out that “at moments like this, we are reminded that true legacies are not written in the titles or positions we hold, but in the values we uphold and the impact we leave behind.”
