An air of excitement overwhelmed the congregation of Dunamis International Gospel Center, on Friday as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi worshipped with them.
The church headed by Dr. Paul Enenche celebrated it’s mid-year praise and worship service tagged “the Judgement Praise Night with Pastor Paul Enenche.”
In a video seen by The Easterner on Saturday, Enenche’s wife, Becky introduced Obi during a prayer vigil of the church Friday evening.
Addressing members of the church, Becky Enenche said: “And we also have tonight, Mr Peter Obi who has joined for the service this evening.”
The entire worshippers erupted into rapturous applause and screaming as they cheered him.
At the event, Peter Obi joined Enenche who is an advocate of Igbo presidency in an intercession prayer for Nigeria.
Enenche had earlier decried political parties for denying Southerner’s tickets for the 2023 presidential elections.
Speaking during the healing and deliverance service at the church’s headquarters, the preacher said southerners are being marginalised in the country.
He said, “When president Olusegun Obasanjo came into power in 1999 the two political parties decided to present candidates from the South-West. There were South-West Christians so it was narrowed down.
“At this time now, let me ask a question, what is wrong if it was narrowed down to Southeast? I am asking out loud. People Who have felt so marginalised and oppressed for a long time.
“Why can’t they be sensible and say let south-east produce presidency so that the parties give tickets to candidates from the region?
“Who says that such cannot calm down the agitation in that area and also give that region some sense of belonging?
“Who says that an Easterner can not be a president of Nigeria? What did they do? What is their offence? Who said it? Where was the law made from? never for once.
“Those who have had presidency many times are still clamouring to come. That is to say, there is a group of people that are not humans. Such useless things are happening in various states of the country and Jehovah is arresting the situation.
“I say it with authority, there is no part of this country that is stronger or better than the other. And I can tell you in both capacity and wisdom if the same people have been ruling and everything is degenerating why can’t you try other people and see whether things will not change? whether things will not be better. Jehovah will change it by force. He will change the narrative by force”.
