JUST-IN! Peter Obi Reveals What He Wants For His 63rd Birthday, Sends Message To Well-Wishers
The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has made an appeal to his supporters and well-wishers ahead of his 63rd birthday on July 19th.
In a statement on his X handle on Wednesday, the erstwhile Governor of Anambra State expressed gratitude to God for life, good health, and the opportunity to serve humanity.
He pointed out that numerous birthday wishes and events are being organised in his honour, both locally and internationally.
He, however, appealed to his supporters to channel their energy into fervent prayers for Nigeria and their respective countries. He urged political leaders to surrender themselves to God, seeking wisdom to prioritise the needs of the poor and the marginalised, provide opportunities for youth empowerment, and utilise public resources for the greater good.
He wrote: “My appeal to my well-wishers and supporters, particularly in Nigeria and Africa, is to use this occasion to fervently pray for our nation and respective countries. Let us present ourselves, as political leaders, to God, so that He may touch our hearts to make sacrifices, utilize public resources for the greater good, and prioritize the needs of the poor and marginalized. Let us also provide better opportunities for our youth to thrive. To those organizing events and spending funds in celebration of my birthday,” he said.
Obi requested that resources intended for birthday celebrations be redirected towards supporting the needy, particularly in hospitals and schools.
He added, “I kindly request that you redirect those resources towards supporting the needy, particularly those in hospitals and schools. Your contributions can help pay medical bills and school fees for the less privileged.
“I urge you all to remain faithful to Nigeria, our beloved country, and your respective nations.
“May God Almighty protect, bless, and prosper you and your families, and may He bless our dear nation.”
