@PeterObi This is how birthdays should be celebrated; whether in office or out of office. Its an opportunity to share with others especially those that have and can influence society

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Thank You All

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank everyone for the outpouring of goodwill and birthday wishes I received worldwide. I remain deeply grateful to all who marked the day in one way or another, not to mention Nigerian youths, the Obidient family and the members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, renowned for their apostolate to the poor.

As for me, while I deeply appreciate the gestures of celebration, I must once again reiterate that I do not personally celebrate birthdays. I recall vividly when I turned 50, during my time as Governor. Many institutions and individuals approached me with elaborate plans for the occasion.

One institution generously offered to build a house for me in the village. When I asked for the estimated cost, they said it would be ₦120 million. I humbly requested that the funds be redirected to build classrooms in three educational institutions at Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged—and the impact was far-reaching.

Another group had budgeted ₦20 million for a lavish party. I graciously asked them to consider using the funds to purchase desktop computers for schools. Their eventual donation of 200 desktops was distributed to schools across the state, enhancing learning for many students.

In a similar spirit of redirection, another organisation—whose intention had originally been to celebrate me—ended up donating buses, which we distributed to institutions in need, including one that went to the legendary Old Rangers Association.

This has been my consistent approach over the years. On each birthday, I use the opportunity to redirect goodwill towards causes that uplift others.

As I turned 64 years old yesterday, I must confess that the current state of our nation makes the idea of personal merriment even more difficult to contemplate. The scale of suffering and deprivation among our people weighs heavily on the conscience. This is why I have once again requested that all those who wish to celebrate me should instead channel their resources towards helping the poor or supporting our struggling health and educational institutions.

On my part, I have chosen this day to renew my personal commitment to continue supporting the institutions of state in the best way I can, especially those that directly serve the people.

Providentially, I was in Rome, at the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs, and my birthday coincided with this visit. I used this sacred opportunity, as I always do when I am in Nigeria, to remember you all in prayer. I especially prayed for our beloved country, Nigeria—that God may touch the hearts of our leaders, and awaken in them the realisation that public funds are meant for the public good.

May we all find strength and grace to keep striving for a more just, compassionate, and equitable society.

Thank you, once again. -PO

@chiditweets042 We demand you bring down this post immediately as we would not hesitate to take legal action against you. This is completely false.

[Simeon Omughelli @OMUSIMS]

@chiditweets042 Your post about Foursquare Gosple Church Addo is completely false. It was a Welfare Sunday and the usual practice is to help members with food stuff and other items. This has no link or connection to any planned protest as your post is intended to convey. PLEASE BE GUIDED

@AirtelNigeria Your airtel 5G is a systematic scam. I subscribed 5G unlimited 18th June which should expire 17th July. Validity is out and I cannot have access. Called customer care after several calls was told my subscription started on the 15th and not 18th in my receipt.

@JAMBHQ Pls my son needs to change of subject (music to Mathematics) which was wrongly entered for him at the registration center. We also missed the window for the correction of subject. Pls what can we do given that the exam is about 1wk to commence?

@francis_ngannou You're and have always been the champ. There's a reason you parted ways with @ufc and asking for a match up with guys in @ufc might be giving credence to what made you leave. If they make the move, no qualms... you call the shorts now.
