Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, visited the Central Mosque in Onitsha on Sunday and joined the Muslim community in Anambra State to celebrate and share in the joy of Eid el Fitr.
Obi revealed this in a tweet on Sunday night, noting that they had good times together.
According to the former Anambra State Governor, Muslims at the Central Mosque told him that he is the only politician who has kept the routine of visiting the Central Mosque and maintaining a close relationship with them.
They also prayed for the obedient movement and the emergence of a new Nigeria during their visit.
Sharing the details of the visit alongside some pictures, Obi wrote on Twitter;
Today, at the Central Mosque, Onitsha, I joined the Muslim Community in Anambra State to celebrate and share in the joys of Eid el Fitr. I am very grateful for the fraternal and convivial moments we shared, and especially for their kind words and prayers for a New Nigeria.
They stressed that what is most comforting for them is that I am the only politician who has maintained the routine of customarily visiting the Central Mosque, remained supportive of the Community and maintained a close and cordial relationship with them.
I have always maintained that every Nigerian should be free to live and thrive freely in any part of the nation. I presented my gift items to them and shared in their prayers for the OBIdient movement and for a New Nigeria. -PO.
