The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, on Wednesday, celebrated his counterpart in the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on his 62nd birthday.
In a Twitter post, the former Vice President described Obi as a distinguished and respected leader and former governor, wishing him more years in good health.
Tweeting further he said that Obi’s dedication to service and growth over the years was an inspiration to him.
According to Atiku: “Happy 62nd birthday to @PeterObi, a respected leader and distinguished former governor of Anambra state and presidential candidate of the Labour Party. Your dedication to service and growth continues to inspire.
“As you add another year today, I, on behalf of my family and team wish you many more years in good health and vitality. -AA”
