The camp of the Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said Obi has been attending churches before his presidential ambition and it will be unfair of anybody to accuse him of driving religious sentiments through his frequent presence at different church programmes.<\/p>\n

The Obi-Datti Media Office stated at a media conference held on Thursday in Abuja, while reacting to the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ifeanyi Okowa’s comment that the LP presidential candidate had been visiting churches long before he declared intention to run for the highest office in the country.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Okowa accused the former Anambra State governor of dragging the church into politics<\/a> for frequently visiting churches.<\/p>\n

But the Obidients, a growing movement of the Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate, however, admonished Okowa to focus on marketing himself in place of attempts to brand Obi a bigot.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Obi-Datti media office disclosed that Okowa\u2019s attempts to de-market Obi as practicing primordial, religious and tribal politics was baseless.<\/p>\n

The statement partly read, \u201cFirst, Obi was tagged a mere social media blitz, hanging in the air without structure; second, he was labelled an Igbo and the Indigenous People of Biafra\u2019s irredentist, and now, Okowa, grieved by Obi\u2019s popularity among the lay faithful, says he is fanning religious sentiments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is that Obi<\/a> is a driver of a movement whose membership and support cut across all facets of our national life and any attempts to pigeonhole him into any sector will fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi has visited churches even before he became the present run for the Presidency. In July 2021, he was at St Mary\u2019s Catholic Church, Karu, Abuja, to attend the 25th anniversary of a priest and the church erupted when he was introduced. At various weddings in Abuja, Lagos, and, all over the country where he visited, Nigerians celebrated him for what he stood for and what he did when he held public office in Anambra State.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of such functions was Dr Okowa\u2019s child\u2019s wedding at the National Ecumenical Conference Centre, Abuja, this year. Celebration of Obi at any public gathering has been there long before he became began to aspire for the presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team also drew attention to a recent wedding ceremony held in a Mosque in Kaduna State where Obi was greeted with ovation by his admirers, who thronged the event and made efforts to touch him.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi-Datti Media office is privy to the fact that in most of the top public church appearances of Obi, including a recent Dunamis Church outing in Abuja, Okowa was always invited.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe either stays away or sends his wife to represent him and because Obi does not like a rep where the people want him, he strives to show presence despite his tight schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t expect Governor Okowa to join in this fantasy talks but to use every available avenue he has to market himself and his candidate instead of dwelling in gainsaying anything that concerns Peter Obi of the Labour Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruth which is glaring and known to even Okowa is that the Labour Party candidate is leading a movement that cannot be stopped or distracted by any side talk because it was prompted by long-standing oppression of the people who are about to be liberated with Obi\u2019s message of hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaking back the country and rebuilding it is a task that is almost certain as there is no going back. The oppressors have forced the oppressed to pull the trigger and there is going back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
