AWKA — Former Anambra State Governor and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Peter Obi, has marked his 65th birthday with a message of gratitude to God, reflection on his journey and a renewed commitment to service to humanity.
Obi, in a statement issued on Sunday to commemorate the milestone, said birthdays should serve as moments for sober reflection and an opportunity to consider how one’s life can be dedicated more meaningfully to the service of God and society.
He urged Nigerians to focus more on improving the lives of others rather than engaging in extravagant celebrations, noting that the country’s current realities demand greater compassion and collective responsibility.
According to him, while celebrations may be appropriate in societies where basic needs have largely been addressed and institutions function effectively, Nigeria’s challenges require citizens to channel resources towards building a better future.
