The Gubernatorial Candidate of the Labour Party in Ebonyi State, Chief Fidelis Nwankwo, has welcomed His Excellency Peter Obi to Ebonyi State. Receiving the Presidential Candidate at Evangel University, Okpoto, Ebonyi State, where he joined Mr Peter Obi, for prayer he expressed his confidence in the presidential candidate assuring him that Ebonyi State is obedient because the people are yearning for good governance like the rest of Nigerians.

His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi while appreciating the mammoth crowd that turned out to receive and pray with him, informed the people that his visit to the State was not for the campaign as campaigns have not started but was coming to Ebonyi State to pray on the invitation of Assemblies of God Church. He urged the people to get their PVCs and pray for good leaders to emerge in Nigeria come 2023.
The General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev. Pastor Ejikeme Ejim informed the congregation that the Church must pray for good governance in the country. He appreciated, His Excellency Mr Peter Obi for honouring the invitation to come and pray with Christian brethren. He urged the Presidential Candidate to come again in November for more prayers and blessings. The high point of the invention was the joint prayers by all the Pastors present for Mr Peter Obi.
