The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has issued a denial against campaign posters of himself on Muslim prayer mats.
The said prayer mats were made by support groups to be shared as campaign souvenirs with potential Muslim voters.
the former Governor of Anambra State wrote on his Twitter Today Friday, 1 July 2022, handled that the mats were not from his campaign team.
He Tweeted:
“The inclusion of my picture on the praying mat by a support group was misguided, even with the best of intentions”
“It didn’t emanate from my campaign team. I have deep respect for the Muslim faith and indeed, for every other religion. We will never mock any faith, ethnicity, or gender. We are one Nigeria.”-PO
