The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has received good wishes from the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, ahead of his 61st birthday.
On Tuesday, the former governor of Anambra State, who was born on July 19, 1961, will turn 61 years old.
Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, the publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, referred to the LP candidate as a “rejected stone that has finally become the chief cornerstone” in a message of goodwill.
Ohanaeze promised Obi that prosperity would be his legacy for thousands of years to come.
According to Ogbonnia, Obi was able to alter the national political narratives by using his morals, uprightness, and persuasion.
The statement released by Ohanaeze partly reads, “The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor feels highly elated that the rejected stone has seamlessly become the cornerstone that gravitates the Nigerian grassroots including men and women of timber and calibre.
“My brother, Okwute, be assured that in over one thousand years to come, July 19 will remain a day in history: a day a great African was born into Agulu community, Anambra State, Nigeria.
“A man who with a mere force of morals, uprightness, persuasions and goodwill was able to change the political narratives of the most populous and backward African country.”
