Delta Governor’s Aide Criticizes Peter Obi Over Church Visit

In a surprising development, the media aide to the Delta State Governor, Ovie Success Ossai, has criticized the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, over his recent visit to a church gathering in Ubulu-Uku, Delta State. According to a viral video, Obi was spotted attending a Catholic Charismatic programme in Ubulu-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.

Ossai, in his critique, suggested that Obi’s visit to the church was politically motivated, aiming to attract a mammoth crowd in the run-up to the forthcoming elections. However, it is worth noting that Peter Obi has not yet commented on the matter.

This incident comes amidst growing political tension in the run-up to the general elections. The visit has stirred discussions on the role of religion in Nigerian politics, with many questioning whether political candidates should use religious gatherings as platforms for political campaigning.

This story is significant as it sheds light on the complex relationship between religion and politics in Nigeria, and raises questions about the ethical boundaries of political campaigning in religious settings.
