Pastor refers to Peter Obi as President during Church service in London
Pastor Agu Irukwu of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in London mistakenly referred to Peter Obi, a former Anambra State governor and presidential candidate of the Labour party, as “President” during a church service on Sunday.
Introducing Obi as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, the senior pastor of Jesus House for All Nations Parish in Brent Cross said, “And we have the president, ah, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi. We always appreciate Mr Peter Obi. God, we appreciate him, we appreciate him.”
Despite the error, the congregation erupted in cheers and gave a standing ovation. Obi, who was in attendance, laughed along with the pastor and the rest of the worshippers.
It is worth noting that Obi is not the president of Nigeria, but rather a former governor and presidential candidate.
He is currently in court challenging the outcome of the February 25 presidential election, which was won by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).(Nigerian Tribune)
