As the former President of the United States of America, Jimmy Carter, is laid to rest in his hometown, Georgia, ex-British/Commonwealth light heavyweight boxing champion, Peter Oboh, has joined several people across the world to bid him farewell.
The humanist and peanut farmer, who rose from humble beginnings to become the 39th American President, passed away peacefully at his residence in Plains, Georgia, on December 29, 2024. He was aged 100.
While bidding Carter goodbye, the former boxing champion described him as a fantastic leader, man of peace and genuine Christian who always put God ahead in everything.
According to the pugilist-turned-Apostle, “Mr. Jimmy Carter was a super man of love and peace. After his death, many all over the world are still talking about his good works. He will always be remembered for his good deeds. I want to use this opportunity to plead with the American government that it’s not wise for Israel to be given weapons of mass destruction at this time that Gaza is under constant attack.
“By doing so, it’s like giving an angry man a gun to defend himself. He may use it wrongly on the innocent because he’s being moved by emotions, not by wise decisions. I am pleading with the American government to be moved by love, not by emotions. Love is the only key to peace.”
Carter’s funeral service took place at the National Cathedral, Washington DC, yesterday (Thursday) and was attended by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and past Presidents like Bill Clinton, George Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.
