Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi attended a Sunday service at Koinonia Global Church in Abuja, where Apostle Joshua Selman acknowledged his presence before members of the congregation.
The appearance took place on Sunday, August 30, 2026, during a service led by Selman, the founder of Eternity Network International and lead minister of Koinonia Global.
Video footage from the service shows Selman announcing Obi's presence to the congregation as the former governor sat among worshippers.
Obi's appearance attracted attention because of his national political profile and his continued public engagement with Nigerians across different settings. His presence at the Abuja church service was captured on video and subsequently circulated on social media.
Koinonia Global, led by Selman, regularly attracts worshippers from different parts of Nigeria and beyond. The church's services and programmes have also developed a significant online audience through the distribution of recorded teachings and service footage.
The moment Selman acknowledged Obi was met with attention from those present, while the video of the encounter quickly became a subject of discussion online.
Obi has remained a prominent public figure since serving as governor of Anambra State and has continued to maintain a visible presence in national affairs.
The Abuja appearance, however, was centred on his participation in the church service rather than any political announcement. No political declaration or campaign statement was contained in the moment shown in the video.
The footage has since added another public appearance to Obi's recent activities, with social-media users sharing and discussing the moment Apostle Selman introduced him to the Koinonia Global congregation.
