The Labour Party candidate in the February 25 presidential election, Peter Obi, has highlighted the contributions of his counterpart under the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, to the growth of Nigerian economy.
Obi said this as he saluted Atiku on his 77th birthday.
Obi took to his page on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday to commend the erstwhile Vice-President for his contributions to the growth of the nation.
In his tweets, Obi, who labelled Abubakar as his “very dear respected elder brother and leader,” stated that the PDP candidate, through his numerous business establishments and educational investments, improved national productivity and manpower development in the country.
The tweets read in parts, “Along with your family, friends and numerous well-wishers, I celebrate your many contributions to the socio-political and economic development of our beloved country and in particular your unique role in deepening our nation’s democracy.
The former Anambra State Governor prayed to God to grant the celebrant more wisdom and fruitful years ahead.
“May God grant you more wisdom to continue to contribute to the progress of our dear nation and to grant you more healthy and fruitful years ahead as you age gracefully. Happy birthday Sir,” the tweets concluded.
