When I become President, I’ll spend my Sallah in Sokoto or Kano unlike Pres. Tinubu, who is a Muslim but spends his Sallah in Lagos — Peter Obi
The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC, Peter Obi, has shared where he would prefer to spend the Muslim festival of Sallah if elected President of Nigeria.
Obi noted that President Bola Tinubu, who is a Muslim, spends his Sallah celebrations in Lagos State, but said he would choose to celebrate the occasion in either Sokoto or Kano State.
According to him, he would spend Sallah with the Sultan of Sokoto if given the opportunity to lead the country, or alternatively celebrate in Kano.
“President Tinubu, who is a Muslim, spends his Sallah in Lagos State. If I’m President, I’ll spend my Sallah in Sokoto State with the Sultan or in Kano State,” Obi said.
Obi’s statement has since drawn attention to the symbolic importance of presidential visits and participation in major religious and cultural celebrations across Nigeria.
