Media aide to the Delta State Governor, Ovie Success Ossai, has criticised the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, over his appearance at a church gathering in Ubulu-Uku, Delta State.
DAILY POST reports that a viral video showed Obi arriving at a Catholic Charismatic programme in Ubulu-Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area, where his supporters were heard cheering and chanting his name.
Reacting to the development, Ossai, in a statement posted on his official Facebook page, accused the former Anambra State governor of using the religious gathering for political purposes.
He claimed that Obi’s appearance at the programme was an attempt to compensate for the low turnout recorded during his political engagement in Ughelli, Delta State.

He wrote, “Peter Obi saw people gathered praying in Ubulu-Uku Delta, and he decided to go in and campaign without an invitation.
“This is happening because of the low turnout he witnessed in Ughelli, Delta State, and in an attempt to cover up, he decided to be in the midst of the people, and his supporters decided to say it’s a shutdown.”
Meanwhile, Obi’s supporters in Delta State have continued to attract large crowds at several recent political gatherings across the state.
