Peter Obi Speaks at Koinonia As Joshua Selman Invites Him to Podium

Earlier today at Koinonia, Apostle Joshua Selman noticed Peter Obi seated quietly among the congregation and invited him to the podium.

Selman later explained that Obi had simply arrived and taken his seat, but he felt stirred in his heart to honour him and invite him forward.

What followed was a brief but pointed message that quickly stood out.

Standing before a packed congregation, Obi spoke about what he believes remains one of Nigeria’s biggest problems: leadership. He urged politicians to stop stealing public funds and called on believers to pray that God would touch the hearts of those in positions of power, so that public resources would be used for the benefit of the people.

There was no lengthy political speech or detailed policy presentation. Instead, Obi delivered a straightforward message about leadership, accountability and the responsibility that comes with public office.

It is a message he has expressed in different forms over the years, but hearing it in a church setting gave the moment a different tone.

The congregation received his remarks warmly, while clips from the moment began circulating online.

Whether the message will lead to any change remains to be seen, but Obi's central appeal was clear: those entrusted with public resources should use them for the good of the public.
