Former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, is being celebrated by Nigerians as he clocks 61 today.
Peter Obi who is arguably Nigerians favourite internet politician at the moment has received praises from socio-political groups and Nigerians.
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide described Obi as a “game changer, soldier of morals, democracy archetype, the popular sentiment of youth politics, an abundance philosopher, prudent resource manager, ethnic barrier-breaker and a quintessential Igbo audacious icon”.
Ohanaeze noted that Obi still remains an exceptional Nigerian politician who served as a state governor and left office with neither taint, tarnishes or blemish.
“While Obi was busy setting standards of good governance for posterity, some other myopic, timid, and mundane governors were busy with the unconscionable primitive acquisition of wealth to the detriment or impoverishment of the very masses that voted them into office. Quel domage!
“The current events in the Nigerian democratic space is a veritable lesson to the incumbent and indeed to the generations yet unborn. Obi was the governor of Anambra State between 2006 and 2014.
“What goes for Obi today is the awesome quality service he rendered to his people as a governor; and of course, the dispositional humility, character comeliness and intellectual acumen that define his public conduct”, the group said.
Supporters have also taken to social media to celebrate the LP presidential candidate
Happy Birthday My President!????
You've shown us the path to light and freedom,
You've brought us hope after so many years of failed leadership,
You've shown us that democracy is truly Govt of the people, by the people & for the people.
