I'm humbled - Peter Obi reacts on warm reception at Redemption City

The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is still basking in the warm reception he was treated to at the Holy Ghost Service of the 70th convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

Pulse reported that the former Anambra State Governor received rousing cheers at Pastor Enoch Adeboye-led RCCG convention on the night of Friday, August 12, 2022.

The event: Obi, who made his maiden appearance at the Redemption Camp, joined other worshippers on the fifth day of the convention at RCCG international headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The programme, themed, “Perfect Jubilee” began on Monday, August 8, 2022 and will last through Sunday, August 14, 2022.

Welcoming Obi to the convention, the announcer said, “We welcome to the Redemption Camp for the first time Mr. Peter Obi.”

Obi reacts: Reacting to the reception on his Twitter page on Saturday, August 13, 2022, the frontline presidential candidate revealed that he was humbled by worshippers at the RCCG.

Obi wrote, “Sharing moments of true worship last night with a great congregation at the RCCG Convention was a special experience of joy, strength and love for me.

“I was humbled by the warm welcome, but above all, I am grateful for the opportunity to be in the midst of the brethren. -PO”.

Thousands of worshippers had thronged the church for its Mid-Year Praise and Worship Night, to seek the face of God over the state of security and other challenges facing the country.
