Peter Obi has presented cheques worth millions of naira to the Muslim communities in Anambra state.
The Labour Party presidential candidate in the last presidential election presented the cheque fulfilling his promise to help renovate Awka and Onitsha mosques.
Obi also celebrated with the Anambra Muslims community in Onitsha during this year’s Eid-el-Kabir.
Politics Nigeria reports that during Obi’s visit to Awka and Onitsha Muslim communities in April, he promised to support them in renovating their places of worship, which was no longer in good condition.
On Wednesday, the former Anambra state governor made the donations when he played host to leaders of the Anambra Muslim Community in Anambra’s capital, Akwa.
At the event, Obi said: “We are all Nigerians, and we will continue to live as one irrespective of our religious or political beliefs.
“What we owe each other is brotherly love and care, so we can live in peace and unity as a nation. We have no other nation but Nigeria, and we must make it work.
“I know that times are difficult for everybody in the country, but if we rise above our religious, political and ethnic divisions, we will be able to surmount our challenges in unity.
“We will not give up on our nation, but continue to work for a New Nigeria that will be beneficial to every Nigerian.”
