The Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has stated that he will maintain his decision not to celebrate his birthdays in today’s Nigeria due to its current deplorable state.

Ahead of his 62nd birthday, Obi on Monday, in a tweet via his Twitter handle said that a birthday celebration for him would be counter-productive in today’s Nigeria, where many are grappling with myriads of challenges.

While urging that gifts meant to celebrate him be given to those in dire need, he stated, he lamented wanton killings in the North-Central, especially in Benue and Plateau States.

He however expressed optimism to celebrate a Nigeria that works.
