2023: Interfaith Body Endorses Obi, Baba-Ahmed *Supporters of presidential hopeful accuse el-Rufai of bitter politics Emameh Gabriel in Abuja An interfaith body from North Central states led by A
An interfaith body from North Central states led by Archbishop Leonard Kawas, the General Overseer of World Harvest Ministry and Sheikh Muhammed Muritala Mahmood, yesterday, declared the readiness of the group to support the candidacy of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti baba-Ahmed.
However, the group made the declaration, when its leaders from the FCT, Nasarawa, Kaduna and Niger, paid a visit to the National Chairman of Labour Party, Julius Abure, at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, where they prayed for the success of the party in next year’s general election. “We are here today because Nigeria is faced with a critical election in few months time and that election will make or mar this country. We have faced a lot of challenges in the last seven years. There have been killings, hunger and suffering in the land.
On his part, Mahmood, who led a delegation of the Muslim community from the four North Central states, said the “movement has been in existence for years for the purpose of uniting Nigerians of all faiths. Abure said: “What I appreciate most in this gathering is the prayers that you have offered. The prayers are coming at the nick of time because we are under attacks. We are getting information that they are going to raise guns and they have designated states that are their target.
The group at a press conference addressed by its leaders, Barrister Tony Chukwuelue, Mike Okaka, Johnny Obika and Shehu Alhassan, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to caution him.
