The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has tasked political leaders to prioritize the needs of the poor and the marginalized in their various countries.
In a post on his official X handle on Wednesday as he prepares to observe his 63rd birthday anniversary, Obi urged all his well wishers to use the occasion to fervently pray for Nigeria and their respective countries.
The former Anambra State Governor, charged political leaders to allow God touch their hearts to make sacrifices and utilize public resources for the greater good of all.
“On Friday, July 19th, I will be celebrating my 63rd birthday. As usual, it is a time for personal reflection and thanksgiving to Almighty God, who has graciously granted me life, good health, and the opportunity to contribute to the betterment of humanity.
“Let us present ourselves, as political leaders, to God, so that He may touch our hearts to make sacrifices, utilize public resources for the greater good, and prioritize the needs of the poor and marginalized. Let us also provide better opportunities for our youth to thrive.
“My appeal to my well-wishers and supporters, particularly in Nigeria and Africa, is to use this occasion to fervently pray for our nation and respective countries,” he said.
