Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Mr. Peter Obi, has paid glowing tribute to His Eminence, Francis Cardinal Arinze, as he celebrated his 93rd birthday on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
In an X (former Twitter) post, Mr. Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, while felicitating with Cardinal Arinze on the joyous occasion, said that his life “remains a shining example of faith, humility, discipline, and service to God and humanity.”
Obi said further that from his “pastoral beginnings in Onitsha to the global apostolate as Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments,” Cardinal Arinze has inspired generations with his “devotion to God, to the Church and to the moral upliftment of society,” and prayed that “God continue to grant you good health and strength, as you exemplify true leadership and spiritual guidance.”
