The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has received spiritual endorsement from the Senior Pastor and Founder of House on the Rock, Pastor Paul Adefarasin.
Pastor Adefarasin while declaring support for Mr Obi, enjoined church members to make him their friend.
He gave the advice during the just-concluded Communion Service at the Rock Cathedral, Lagos.
Explaining why he chose to support the PDP candidate, Pastor Adefarasin said that having followed Mr. Obi over the years, he saw in him the embodiment of those virtues House on the Rock continues to preach which those in public service require to uplift the society in accordance to the ethics of Christ.
The pastor charged all those aspiring to leadership to be humble in full realisation that serving the people well and faithfully is also a way of serving God.
In the same vein, a member of the church, Gbenga Oloye said that he had followed Mr. Peter Obi and was in total agreement with what the Pastor said. In his words, “for people like me, the pastor was only preaching to the converted.”
He said he was sure that If Obi would remain the Obi of Anambra State in terms of the work he did in the state as Governor and his conduct in public service that Nigeria would become a changed place.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Obi called on Nigerians to remain prayerful for the country and her leaders so that the leaders would realise that using the resources of the state to work for the state is a win-win for everybody.
