The Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has accused the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, of whipping up sentiments through the church.

Obi, who is fast gaining popularity, especially on social media, has made several visits to churches, where he was warmly received.

In an interview with Daily Trust and select media outlets in Kano, Okowa said the church should not be dragged into politics.

Responding to a question on the allegation by some that his emergence as vice presidential candidate of the PDP was a betrayal to the south especially with Obi’s increasing popularity in the zone, Okowa said it was unfortunate that people hang on to anything even to the detriment of their fate.


“Now you begin to look at what is going on; the Peter Obi factor is as if he is trying to go through the church and make it look as if he is driving the Christians into politics. I do not believe that the church should actively go into politics because that is not their calling.

“But people are just hanging to anything they can reach out to even to the detriment of their fate. I don’t believe that’s the right part to go,” he said.

The Delta state governor made the remark on the sideline of his visit to the state along with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to receive former Kano state governor, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau into the party and also engage with other party and other stakeholders.

The full interview with Okowa will be published in tomorrow’s edition of Daily Trust Newspaper

Peter Obi doesn't just visit churches. before becoming the governor even till now he attends morning mass daily. He never misses morning mass. I see him as a living saint.

If Nigerians miss the opportunity of having a living saint as president then I think Nigeria can never be better because I wonder why Nigerians won't focus on having a better country but focusing on tribal sentiments.

He's a Christian, has been attending Church programs for too long and therefore, has the right to attend as much Churches as possible, so far as he doesn't go there to officially campaign, and I have carefully watched all his Church videos, I did not see where he went to any Church for campaign. You can show me if you have?

Talking about him having a Christian Agenda, (which is false, by the way) but, if we are all to vote based on religion, then he's likely to win before 12pm on election day; ,remember he's the only major Christian presidential candidate contesting, while you have various Muslim contestants, vying for the same position, meaning their votes will be highly divided/shared. This is another good factor, going for him in this election...

Oga don't think everybody is half brain like those you are play with their intelligent. A Presidencial candidate was moving from one church to the other and they were hailing him and one mumu was asking me if any church has endorsed him. Oga you are smartless.

INEC are fools .there's no law that stop a Nigerian from attending as many church as he like. The last time I checked,I saw Tinubu and Buhari in mosque on Friday. Let campaign start first . Obi must attend all churches in Nigeria. This election is Christian vs Muslims. Christians got one block votes while Muslims votes will be splits between three candidates

The people attending those religious gathering were Nigerian citizens?

Yea most of us understands that politics is a dirty game..
For one to win, one must go to places where they can be heard right?
Places where they can convince people... So If he can convince people in a religious gathering like churches or mosque for people to vote for him, what is wrong with it?
