POMR Press Release.
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi on Easter Sunday visited Onitsha Central Mosque in Anambra state to pray with them for a united Nigeria.
Obi said the visit became necessary to show the commitment of all religions to the oneness and growth of Nigeria.
Writing on his X handle, Obi said “In continuation of my Easter activities today, after sharing the Easter joys with the inmates of Onitsha Correctional Centre, earlier in the day, I was also at the Central Mosque, Onitsha to pray with the Muslim Community in the City who are in the last ten days of the Ramadan fasting.
“It was heartwarming to see how they were able to judiciously deploy the little resources I gave them last year for the renovation of their mosque.
‘I took time to remind them, and indeed every Nigerian, of the need to transcend above religion and tribe, but in unity and brotherly love, continue to work hard for the development of our dear nation.
‘Our many challenges in our nation can be conquered by our unity of efforts, collaboration, and mutual respect. As I have always maintained, no religion, tribe, or political party buys food cheaper anywhere in Nigeria. We must, therefore, join hands in moving our nation from consumption to production, for the good of society.
‘I shared my little Easter gifts with the community and appreciated them for their kind words, encouragement, and prayers. Together as one, we will build the New Nigeria.
Signed.
