Why Did Peter Obi Not Wish His Wife, Margaret, a Happy Birthday This Year, But Wished First Lady Oluremi Tinubu a Happy Birthday? Is He Trying To Hide a Secret From Nigerians?

Very interesting that three days ago, on First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu's birthday, which took place on Sunday, September 21, 2025, Peter Obi celebrated her with a sarcastic birthday message, telling Nigerians that 'We are finished!'

However, on his wife, Margaret Obi's birthday, Peter Obi, who has religiously and publicly wished her a happy birthday on each of her previous birthdays, suddenly did not do so on her latest birthday, which fell on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Peter Obi was loudly silent.

No birthday messages. Nothing.

In fact, on her birthday, Peter Obi instead chose to falsely attack the President over Nigeria's increasing debt (actually, Nigeria's debt has reduced from $113 billion on the last day of Buhari's tenure to $97 billion today).

Why did Peter Obi suddenly go quiet about his wife's birthday?

Two years ago, on Saturday, September 9, 2023, the respected business daily, Business Day, published a report stating that Mrs. Margaret Obi was 49 years old. You can read the report here https://businessday.ng/news/article/peter-obi-pens-heartfelt-tribute-to-wife-on-49th-birthday/?amp

This would mean that she was born in 1974, the same year I was born.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi married her in early 1992 when he was 31.

Is Peter Obi avoiding wishing his wife a happy birthday in 2025 to avoid drawing attention to her age at the time of their marriage, which would have been 17?

I urge Nigerian journalists to pointedly ask Peter Obi why he refused to wish his wife a happy birthday this year. After all, he has wished multiple people a happy birthday in 2025.

Nigerians should know if a man running to be their President married an underage girl when he was a full-blown adult.
