Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, shared an evening meal with the Muslim community in Onitsha, Anambra State, during their daily fast-breaking (Iftar) on Saturday.
In a video making rounds on social media, Obi is seen sitting on the floor and eating from the same plate as children inside the Onitsha Central Mosque, a gesture that has sparked discussions online.
The former governor of Anambra State had also participated in Iftar with Muslims in Awka on Friday before proceeding to Onitsha the following day.
Reacting on social media, Ibrahim Abdulkarim, known as #Ziter001 on X, wrote, “Yesterday, after breaking his fast at iftar in Awka, Mr. Peter Obi joined the Muslim Ummah in Onitsha for breakfast at the Onitsha Central Mosque.”
Another user, #IPrinceSaviour, noted on Saturday, “Today again, H.E Peter Obi joins our Muslim brothers and sisters in breaking their daily fasting at the Onitsha Central Mosque.”
