Aminu Tambuwal and Bukola Saraki join public well-wishers in celebrating Peter Obi’s 65th birthday. Both former officials issue separate goodwill messages through their verified X accounts, praising Obi’s record of public service and his contributions to Nigeria’s political and democratic development. Tambuwal highlights the milestone as recognition of a life marked by service, discipline, resilience, and commitment to national progress, and he notes Obi’s leadership and ability to encourage civic participation, particularly among young Nigerians. Saraki describes Obi as a “friend and brother,” and prays for blessings, good health, and continued strength for Obi.
The reports note that Obi served as governor of Anambra State from 2006 to 2014 and later contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party. Since then, he remains a prominent opposition figure, with his supporters—often referred to as the Obidient Movement—continuing to call for governance reforms, accountability, and increased youth involvement in politics.
