Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, has congratulated Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, on his 77th birthday anniversary. 

Atiku was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election.

Obi and Atiku contested the recent election under different political parties after they both shared the same ticket in the 2019 election.

In a statement on Saturday, Obi said the former vice-president has contributed immensely to the economic growth of the country.
