The Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has dissociated himself from a picture of a Muslim prayer mat with his embossed portrait which began trending on social media on Friday.
Although the origin of the picture of the praying mat is still being investigated, Obi, in a tweet dissociated himself and his campaign team from it. stating that he had the outmost respect for Islam and Muslims and indeed all other faiths and would not under any guise denigrate any.
Obi, in a tweet sighted by Saturday VANGUARD, said, “The inclusion of my picture on the praying mat was misguided even with the best of intentions. It did not emanate from my campaign team. I have deep respect for the Muslim faith and indeed for every other religion.
Details shortly...
