ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has congratulated his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, on his 76th birthday.
In a tweet, the former Anambra State Governor prayed God to protect and bless Atiku as he turns 76 on Saturday, describing him as his elder brother.
“My Dear Elder Brother, HE Alhaji @atiku Abubakar, I rejoice with you as you turn 76 today.
“May God who has brought you thus far in life, protect and bless you always. Happy birthday sir. – PO”
Obi was Atiku’s running mate during the 2019 presidential election, but defected from the PDP to the Labour Party in 2022.
Obi has become a household name among some Nigerians who prefer him to other presidential candidates.
Obi, Atiku, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), are the front runners in the 2023 presidential election.
