Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has distanced himself from praying mat donated by some of his supporters for printing his name on it.
Peter Obi made this known in a tweet on his Twitter page on Friday morning noted that the action was misguided and did not emanate from his campaign team.
However, Obi in his tweet maintained that he respects the Muslim faith and is not in support of the action.
He wrote,”The inclusion of my picture on the praying mat by a support group was misguided, even with the best of intentions. It didn’t emanate from my campaign team. I have deep respect for the Muslim faith and indeed, for every other religion.
”We will never mock any faith, ethnicity, or gender. We are one Nigeria,”.
