A viral video posted by Viable TV has sparked widespread discussions as an Imam publicly affirmed that former Governor Peter Obi built and renovated a mosque for the Muslim community in Onitsha.
In the video, the Imam passionately vouched for Obi’s contributions, saying, “I will never tell lie, God is with me. Whatever I say here and after, I’m going to say it again. If I say anything against him that he didn’t do, God.
Mr. Peter Obi built mosque for us. Mr. Peter Obi built mosque for us at Onitsha where then people were trying to demolish our mosque. He used his money to renovate it.”
His statement has reignited praise for Obi’s inclusive leadership during his tenure as the governor of Anambra State.
The Muslim community in the state has previously acknowledged Obi’s efforts in ensuring religious harmony.
Reports indicate that Obi not only protected their places of worship but also provided financial and structural support to safeguard their religious freedom.
During his administration, Obi was known for fostering religious unity often engaging with both Christian and Muslim communities.
His contributions included hosting annual Sallah celebrations at the government house and ensuring the security of Muslims, particularly during crises.
The Imam’s testimony aligns with previous accounts from Muslim leaders in Anambra who have credited Obi with sponsoring members of their community for the Hajj pilgrimage and actively supporting their welfare.
This revelation comes at a time when religious tolerance and unity remain key topics in Nigeria’s political landscape.
Many supporters view Obi’s actions as a reflection of his vision for a diverse and inclusive nation.
