Recall that Peter Obi of the Labour Party went to court after the February 25th Election that produced Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president of the Federation. A judgement is yet to be passed after a lot of evidence was tabled in court. As Obi patiently waits for judgement to come, the former Anambra State Governor has revealed that he will not accede to requests by his friends, party members, and supporters to join him in celebrating his birthday.
According to Daily Post, Peter Obi appealed to those who may desire to celebrate him with gifts to look around them and extend the gesture to the people in need.
In a statement written on his verified Twitter handle, Peter Obi wrote, “Wednesday, 19th July, 2023, marks my 62nd birthday. While I will remain immensely grateful to God for his infinite mercies, I still maintain my decision of over 20 years that I will not celebrate my birthdays in today’s Nigeria, with the current deplorable state of the nation.
However, some friends, members of the Labour Party, and supporters have asked how they can join me in celebrating that day and even present some gifts. Let me humbly appeal to them that they should visit hospitals, orphanages, and homes for the aged and people with disabilities and offer them generous gifts.” Obi Twitted.
