Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has questioned the action of the former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, Over his inability to celebrate his own wife’s birthday on social media but publicly celebrated the birthday of the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, which took place on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
According to Reno, Peter Obi celebrated the first Lady 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.
Reno stated that on Peter Obi wife’s birthday, Peter Obi instead chose to falsely attack the President over Nigeria’s increasing debt.
Reno Further opined that the reason why Peter Obi didn’t celebrate his wife’s birthday could be that he is probably hiding her age. He Maintained that Two years ago, business daily and Business Day Newspapers, published a report stating that Mrs. Margaret Obi was 49 years old. Meanwhile, Peter Obi married her in early 1992 when he was 31 thereby suggesting she was 17 old when Peter married her.
He urged 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.
Reno stated that Nigerians should know if a man running to be their President married an underage girl when he was a full-blown adult.
