Former media aide Bashir Ahmad accuses Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi of carrying out “endless church tours” as elections approach. Ahmad argues that Obi’s church engagements function as political outreach presented as religious activity, citing what he describes as a recurring pattern around election periods.
The claims come after Obi visits Koinonia Global, where he urges Nigerians to pray for politicians to stop stealing. The outlets report that the church visit triggers mixed reactions online, with some users saying Obi’s attendance and speaking are ordinary religious participation. Ahmad, however, maintains that the concern is not the act of attending worship but the political timing and consistency of such appearances.
Overall, the coverage centers on Ahmad’s criticism and the public debate it sparks, contrasting Ahmad’s accusation of political motives with commentators who frame the church appearance as routine and non-political.
