In a heartfelt message, former Anambra governor Peter Obi extended warm birthday wishes to his longtime political associate Atiku Abubakar as he turned 78, calling him his “very dear respected elder brother and leader.” Obi’s tribute echoed similar sentiments from media outlets such as Vanguard and P.M. News, which reported on his affectionate address and praise for Atiku’s role in national development.

He celebrated Atiku’s “tremendous contributions” to Nigeria’s socio-political and economic landscape, noting how his business interests have created jobs, and his investments in education — from primary to tertiary institutions — have expanded opportunities for the less privileged.

Obi also prayed for continued wisdom and good health for the former Vice President, hoping that he will “continue to contribute to the progress of our dear nation” as he ages gracefully.
