The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 25 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, on Sunday, April 23rd, joined the Muslim Community in Anambra State to celebrate and share in the joy of Eid el Fitr.
While celebrating the end of Ramadan, Mr Obi distributed gifts to the community who were happy to have him in their midst.
This gesture melted hearts online with many Nigerians heaping praises on him.
The former Anambra State governor donated bags of rice, cartons of noodles, and packs of soft drinks to the Muslim community and prayed to Allah to accept their fast and sacrifices and grant them a good life.
In his felicitation remarks, Peter Obi said: ” Today, at the Central Mosque, Onitsha, I joined the Muslim Community in Anambra State to celebrate and share in the joys of Eid el Fitr. I am very grateful for the fraternal and convivial moments we shared, and especially for their kind words and prayers for a New Nigeria.
” I prayed for Allah to accept their sacrifices, supplications, almsgiving, and other good deeds as acts of Ibadah and reward them abundantly, here and hereafter.
” I also prayed that their respective families will be blessed and witness many more Ramadans on Earth. It was gratifying that without prodding, my hosts recounted how as the Governor of Anambra State, I had rebuilt their Mosque when it was burnt down, provided maximum security for them during the crisis that erupted in the State in 2006, and paid annually for several members of the community to attend the Hajj pilgrimages.
