The action of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, joining Muslims at the Central Mosque in Maraba-Nyanya, Abuja, to break the Ramadan fast, has sparked mixed reactions.
In a video now widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter), the former Governor of Anambra State was seen seated beside a child on a mat, sharing a bowl of rice with him.
The viral video depicted nearly 1000 individuals at the mosque, eagerly awaiting the breaking of their fast, while others observed as the LP presidential candidate fed the child.
As a result of this occurrence, certain Nigerians praised him for his generosity and exemplary behavior, while others criticized him, suggesting that he did it to gain favor for the upcoming 2027 campaign.

โThe desperate actions must be fiercely resisted by Nigerians. Utilizing race and religion as weapons all the time.โ
