Eid ul-Fitr: Obi urges supporters to continue focusing on peace in the spirit of Ramadan

The former governor stated that the Obi-Datti team continues to pray that the difficulties encountered would be resolved without causing more harm to the economy, the country, or the interests of the nation.

Even as Ramadan is observed, Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, has urged Muslims and his followers to stay committed to stability and the rule of law.

In a message posted on his official Twitter account, Mr. Obi also reassured Nigerians and the OBIdients that the fight for a New Nigeria is well underway.

The former governor of Anambra State claimed that his staff had refrained from responding directly to the myriad distracting accusations and false reports made against Datti Baba-Ahmed and himself because Lent and Ramadan are cherished times.

The Obi-Datti team continues to pray that the difficulties will be addressed without causing more harm to the economy, the country, or the interests of the nation, he added.

Buhari approves the immediate suspension of REC Hudu Yunusa Ari as the governor of Adamawa.

Here is the complete statement from the LP flagbearer.

To our Muslim brothers and sisters, a warm assalam. I want to greet you all a Happy Sallah and congratulate you on successfully finishing Ramadan 2023 on the occasion of Eid il Fitr. Happy Ramadan! pic.twitter.com/NBDObhKokf

Numerous undesirable actions have been taken against our people and country, but we are steadfast in our resolve to fight for a New Nigeria by employing all of the peaceful means that our laws provide. We will keep pleading with all Nigerians to maintain peace and follow the law.

We have held off on responding personally to the myriad distracting accusations and false reports made against Datti Baba-Ahmed and me in observance of Lent and Ramadan.

The accusation of treason for seeking the due process is the most serious of all offences. The fact that state capture offenders and their proxies continue to target Datti and I, as well as the Labour Party and the OBIdient Family, is now widely known.

An equal, secure, and prosperous New Nigeria was the goal, but efforts to stop us from moving in that direction included the use of doctored audio,
