The presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, has reacted to the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, who accused him of dragging the Church into politics.

Obi said he had no apologies to offer for attending church activities.

Obi’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Valentine Obienyem said in a statement that it was on record that Obi attended programmes he was invited to, including those organised by the Churches.


“Should Obi start shunning Church events because of politics, even when we know that since leaving office in 2014, he has visited over 1,000 schools and hospitals owned by the Churches, offering them all manner of support for the upgrade of their schools and hospitals that serve the citizens of Nigeria?” Obienyem said.

While cautioning against bringing the name of the Church into disrepute, Obienyem said those doing such were deliberately linking genuine actions of patriots to politics, even when it was absolutely unnecessary.

According to Obienyem, making reference to politics was unnecessary because electioneering had not started and disagreed with Okowa on distinguishing those to be reached out to or not.

He asked: “Why would the PDP vice presidential candidate suggest that it is wrong for anybody to reach out to the churches? Is this not contemptuous of churches?”

He observed that most Nigerians were affected by the bad governance in the country and should expectedly be involved in efforts to enthrone good governance.

He said the Delta State governor should be told about the difference between being politically aware and getting involved in active politics, adding that very soon some people would start to criminalize the encounter Obi is having with Nigerians in Diaspora.

Assuring Nigerians that Obi would not get tired of preaching to Nigerians about good governance and the need for the people of Nigeria to take back their country, Obienyem called on other patriots to join in the crusade, rather than wishing people to keep quiet so that the status quo would remain

Tell that to the marines. This is how you attended 5 churches in a week last year?
A church was attacked in Owo and you didn't send a simple condolence message because you were not invited?
Bloody hypocrite and a fraud.

I notice that those in charge of new media, information and publicity in administrations that are not in power continue to defend their bosses even though they are no longer in power.

We have seen Reno Omokri always defending Goodluck Jonathan even though the latter is no longer in power and now this Peter Obi's Special Adviser on Media.

Do they normally sign life contract?

Maybe an oath of allegiance. Spin Master for life.

That is right

He knows how stupid his supporters are so he can dish out any kind of lie he deems fit.

Is peter obi the right man for Nigeria? VAR

APC and PDP never saw Obi as a threat and he has turned to be their biggest threat!

Lack of sence

You just discovered the map to Redemption Camp abi?

Ok

The truth is that APC and PDP political class dont ever want ordinary Nigerians to be politically aware of what is really happening in the political space, the reason they are afraid of Obi style of politics of talking to the commoners and making them understand the need for them to vote right and enjoy dividend of good governance. Obi will soon return from the trip to Diaspora engagement and in the coming days will certainly visit more and more predominantly local churches and mosque to preach about democracy and good governance. Nigerian patriots from all works of life will begin to join in the crusade spread the good news of this opportunity to vote wisely as against the only plan of the APC and PDP political class to continue wishing people to keep quiet so that the status quo would remain. Nigerian are tired of suffering and will certainly vote Peter Obi as the President of Nigeria in 2023 will will come as a rude shock to the political jobbers who want to continually hold the people down.

What gibberish!

Bloody criminal. I bet that has been how you've been attending church programs in your life.

Not even bothered, even if he attends heaven and hell, shishi him no go see. Dude's simply waiting to cash out of gullible Biafrans like Kanu did. After all, the GoFundMe accounts are being set up in their thousands already.

shatap iroh
Peter Obi for you
Peter Obi for me
Peter Obi for everyone
Peter Obi came from a Christian family
his brother is reverend father
his sister is a nun
so shatap
everyone no be Yekini Amoda the drug peddling criminal that calls himself Tinubu.
hahahahaha

The Bishop of Enugu should reopen Adoration ministry and ungag that unruly Mbaka and let's see if Obi will dare visit his parish.

Obi is a staunch Catholic who I believe holds the view of Protestant churches being heretics. He never visited nor attended any while he was governor or prior to his campaign. Now he is attending every Protestant church including the hated Anglican church .

If you know any staunch Catholic you will know how they see non Catholics as heretics.

Peter Obi is really using the religious card to his advantage by subtly advancing the point that he is the only Christian contender and he is also using same formula used by the APC to deceive gullible Redeem Church members to vote for Boko Khalifar Buhari because of Pastor Osinbanjo. Adeboye Annanis cashed out big time when he ordered his foolish members to vote Buhari and less than a year into Buhari's govt he took possession of a brand new Jet. The likes of Eneche and co are simply trying to replicate that hustle by getting their foolish members to vote Obi for their own selfish gains.

Do the APC bandits attacked the church so as to draw Obi there?
APC used the church and the lives of those lost to the attacked as distraction to your party primary calculation and want want to hang it on one innocent soul?
You should be ashamed of yourself for being a bandits enabler/supporter.

See how the North is cheating the South.

Everything in Nigeria including Recruitment is done based on local Government.

Party primary election is done based on Local Governent.

Southern Nigeria has 17 states

While Northern Nigeria has 19 states including FCT making it 20

Kano state alone has 44 LGA
And Katsina 34

In the South Lagos has 20 LGA
Bayelsa 8
Some states 12 LGA

South East region having only 5 states is a cheat.
Why can't South East have 6 to 7 states just like some zone in the North have 7 states.

I am not from South East, I'm from South South but I hate Injustice

This imbalance is what give North Super advantage in recruitment into federal parastertals

And also in choosing presidential candidates
