Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, the running mate of
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has
berated the Labour Party flagbearer, Mr Peter Obi over his outing to churches.
Okowa, who spoke with reporters in Kano State on Wednesday,
said he does not believe in dragging the church into partisan politics,
stressing that politics is not the calling of the church.
He lamented that out of desperation, some presidential
candidates are currently reaching out to anything even at the detriment of
their faith just to win the February 2022 election.
“Now you begin to look at what is going on; the Peter Obi
factor is as if he is trying to go through the church and make it look as if he
is driving the Christians into politics. I do not believe that the church
should actively go into politics because that is not their calling.
“But people are just hanging to anything they can reach out
to even to the detriment of their fate. I don’t believe that’s the right part
to go,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Peter Obi had on several occasions
appeared in different church programmes.
Recall that video of the former Anambra Governor, who was
given an unusual ovation when he appeared at the Glory Dome, Abuja, had trended
on all social media platforms.
