The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential Candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has come under attack by the Obi/ Datti Media Office over comments on Peter Obi’s  appearances in churches.
The Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa,  had accused Obi of fanning the flames of religion.
He said “Peter Obi factor is as if he is trying to go through the church and make it look as if he is driving the Christians into politics.
“I do not believe that the church should actively go into politics because that is not their calling.”
Responding, the media office advised Okowa to focus on marketing himself rather than trying to dent Obi’s image, adding that no amount of side talks can stop or distract the LP flag bearer. 
The team also advised Okowa got it all wrong by accusing the Labour Party presidential candidate of fanning the embers of religion and the associated sentiments.
It said the governor exposed himself as grossly ignoring the magnitude of the nation’s challenges and why Nigerians were rising in support of the LP presidential ticket holder.
“Okowa’s baseless allegation is one of the many attempts at trying to label Obi as belonging to the country’s primaeval politics, religion, tribe, and geography.
