The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, spent the Eid El Fitr holiday celebrating with the Muslin community in Anambra State to share in the joy of the time.
Obi said in a tweet “Today at Central Mosque, Onitsha, I joined the Muslim Community in Anambra State to celebrate and share in the joys of Eid el Fitr. I am grateful for the fraternal and convivial moments we spent, especially for their kind words and prayers for a New Nigeria.
The Presidential flag bearer noted that the Muslims recalled the good times they usually have with him when he was a Governor,.
Said he: “Happily, they recounted how I, as the then Governor of Anambra State, rebuilt their Mosque when it was burnt down, and provided maximum security for them during the crisis that erupted in the State in 2006. Since then, I have remained supportive of the Community and maintained a close relationship with them.”
Obi reiterated his earlier position that “every Nigerian should be free to live and thrive freely in any part of the nation as he presented my gift items to them and shared in their prayers for the Obidient movement and for a New Nigeria.”
Also on Sunday, Obi felicitated with seven-year-old young Richard Aridegbe from Surulere, Lagos who invited him to his birthday today, April 23, 2024.
The young Aridegbe is the son of the LP Woman Leader in Surulere, Lagos.
According to Obi: “Happy Birthday to my young friend, Master Richard Aridegbe of Lagos. Thank you for your kind message.
“I’m glad you are a socially conscious young person, who desire the best for Nigeria, our God-given country.
“Please stay in school, remain obidient and continue to be peaceful and respectful. Our commitment is to create a New Nigeria where in 10 years you and your age-mates will join in voting freely for leaders of your choice, and be proud to be Nigerians. God bless you always. -PO”
