See What Peter Obi Did To Mark Eid With Muslims In Anambra
Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate in the 2023 election has felicitated with the Anambra Muslim community in Onitsha on the auspicious occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir while calling on Nigerians to embrace peace, unity and brotherly love.
Obi, who was visited, in his residence, by the leaders of the Anambra Muslim Community, said that he decided to celebrate the Eid Al-Adha with the Muslim community in Anambra, to show the brotherly love and unity that should exist among Nigerians, irrespective of tribal, political or religious belief, and to start fulfilling his promise of helping to renovate the Awka and Onitsha mosques.
It be recalled that during Obi’s visit to Awka and Onitsha Muslim communities in April, he promised to support them in renovating their places of worship, which was no longer in good condition.
In bid to fulfil his promise, Obi presented both Awka and Onitsha Muslim communities with cheques worth millions of naira to commence with the renovation projects.
Speaking at the event, Obi said, “We are all Nigerians, and we will continue to live as one irrespective of our religious or political beliefs. What we owe each other is brotherly love and care, so we can live in peace and unity as a nation. We have no other nation but Nigeria and we must make it work.
“I know that times are difficult for everybody in the country, but if we rise above our religious, political and ethnic divisions, we will be able to surmount our challenges in unity. We will not give up on our nation, but continue to work for a New Nigeria that will be beneficial to every Nigerian.”

In his remarks, the Sarki of the Awka Muslim Community, Alhaji Garba Haruna, said they were thrilled by Obi’s simplicity and consistency.
He said Obi has, once again, demonstrated that he is a truly detribalised Nigerian, by making out time to mark their Sallah celebration with them.
