Peter Obi: “Celebrating a Statesman

Today, 5 March 2026, I joined other Nigerians in Abeokuta, Ogun State to celebrate the birthday of His Excellency, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, two-time former President of Nigeria.

Chief Obasanjo remains a towering statesman, an exceptional leader of our time whose voice continues to resonate in the affairs of our nation. I admire his steadfastness, courage, and deep sense of justice and patriotism. Over the years, he has stood as a strong advocate for national unity and a fearless critic of bad governance, constantly reminding leaders that Nigeria must rise above divisions and work together for the common good. His moral sense of right and wrong has made him the conscience of the nation.

May God continue to bless him with good health, wisdom, and many more years of service to Nigeria and humanity.
