The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has appealed to supporters who celebrated his birthday to channel the gifts to the poor and vulnerable in the society.
In a statement on Sunday from Rome, Italy, Obi restated his lifelong philosophy of shunning extravagant personal celebrations in favour of causes that benefit the underprivileged and strengthen public institutions.
The former Anambra state governor thanked his supporters across Nigeria and beyond for the overwhelming show of love and goodwill as he marked his 64th birthday.
YARN NAIJA reports that Obi’s birthday, celebrated on Saturday, July 19, was marked with community service and solidarity gatherings in various parts of the world, especially by members of the Obidient Movement and other well-wishers.
“I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide.
“I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another especially Nigerian youths, the Obidient family, and members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul,” Obi said.
