I can’t wait to call you my president, Adichie tells Obi
Author, Chimamanda Adichie, has extolled the virtues of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on his 61st birthday.
Adichie described Obi’s relationship with her late parents and family in a lengthy post on her Facebook page on Tuesday.
She continued by saying how eager she was to be able to refer to Obi as her president.
Happy birthday to Peter Obi, my closest big brother, Adichie wished.
“I will always be grateful for your kindness to my cherished parents. Thank you for treating Daddy and Mummy with respect and for your frequent trips to Abba, where you offered them the most priceless gifts of all: your time and your attention.
“Mummy called you her ‘first son,’ my siblings and I call you our ‘big bro,’ and I cannot wait to call you ‘My President.’
“I cannot wait for February 25, 2023, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.”
