Peter Obi: Lent and Ramadan convergence calls for national unity
Former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi urges Nigerians to use the simultaneous start of Lent and Ramadan as a chance to overcome divisions. He calls it a 'Double Fast' - a divine invitation to transcend differences through shared sacrifice and reflection. Obi emphasizes this rare spiritual convergence should inspire intensified prayer against insecurity and economic hardship, paired with charity and forgiveness. He states: 'This unique alignment calls for a spiritual reset for our troubled nation.' The message highlights how millions fasting together can foster national healing and unity across Nigeria's Christian-Muslim divide.
