Peter Obi under fire for not sending birthday message to Tinubu

2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has come under fire for ignoring President Bola Tinubu’s 72nd birthday.

A former spokesman of the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, took to X formerly Twitter on Saturday to call out the former Anambra governor.

Bwala pondered why Obi, who claims to be deeply concerned about Nigeria, declined to extend birthday wishes to President Tinubu.

He implied that Obi’s reluctance to acknowledge the president’s birthday cast doubt on his suitability for the presidency.

Bwala wrote,

“It is so disappointing that a man like @PeterObi who claims to be a statesman and cares about Nigeria and its democratic ideals but couldn’t wish @officialABAT who is the president of the republic a happy birthday. How can such a person be trusted to be a president by example and unite Nigeria? Yes-daddy-politics Opportunism is not patriotism.”
