The Movement for Election of Nigeria President has felicitated with the former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as he clocks 61 July 19, 2022.
In a statement on Monday, the group’s National Convener, Comrade Vincent Ezekwueme, described Obi as an outstanding patriot, compassionate, detribalised, humble, honest, selfless, and God-fearing leader both in politics, private and public life.
Ezekwueme said worthy of mention was the fact that Obi, as a politician, exhibited uncommon and unprecedented impeccable integrity, while changing the dynamics of politics from transactional to transformational.
He said the LP presidential candidate saw politics as an avenue to render selfless service to the people and put smiles and hope on their faces.
It said, “It is on record that he prudently and selflessly utilised public fund for the public good, that while leaving office, he left N75 billion, while his contemporaries incurred huge debts.
“Since he left office in 2014, he has rendered unequal humanitarian aids and services in all the geopolitical zones of the country.
“His belief that leadership is call to serve and not to be served singled him out as a rare and unique personality and gift from God to serve and helps humanity.
“He is selfless, contented and fanatic when it comes to welfare of the citizens.”
The group said the best gift Nigerians should give Obi was to elect him as President, as according to them, he had the wherewithal to transform, rescue, redeem, restore and revamp the socioeconomic status of the country for better.
The statement added, “As you mark your birthday, we pray God to tremendously bless you, protect, guide and guard you with more wisdom, good health and wealth in the years ahead beyond your highest hopes and expectations through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
“The best and greatest birthday gift Nigeria and Nigerians should give Obi is to elect him President during 2023 presidential election, as he is not only passionate about rescuing Nigeria, but most importantly, he has the wherewithal to transform, rescue, redeem, restore and revamp socioeconomic status of the country for better.
“Wishing him more fruitful, prosperous and progressive years ahead beyond measure, especially actualising his desire to serve and salvage our dear country as production, self-sufficient and self-reliance economy.”
