A heartwarming moment featuring Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, has captured attention on social media.
In a viral video, Obi was spotted sharing a meal with Muslims at an Abuja mosque during the evening of Monday, March 18, 2024, as they broke their fast.
The video shows the former Governor of Anambra eating rice from a ‘takeaway’ plate and kindly spoon-feeding a young boy in the mosque, with other congregants observing the touching scene.
Later, Obi addressed the press on the mosque premises, although his speech was difficult to hear due to the background noise.

Nigerians have taken to Twitter, now known as X, to share their views on Obi’s mosque visit, which reportedly took place around Nyanya in the Federal Capital Territory.
While some praised his humility, noting his willingness to sit on the mosque’s floor and share a meal with the community, others expressed mixed feelings about his actions.

How low will Peter Obi go in his desperate bid to become President??
This man has been Governor before, he never loved the Muslims/Northerners like this.
Nigerians must resist desperately this desperate moves.

Just an advice for Labour Party. There is no gain saying that Peter Obi desperately needs the votes from the North, so expect so many “latter days Nothern advocates for Peter Obi” who just want to cash in on his( Peter Obi ) desperation.
The fleecing of LP in 2027 will be in…
