Mr Obi, in a statement on Tuesdday, described Nigeria as “a nation under siege.”
“Once ordinary people lose faith in the fairness of the judiciary, the rule of law is threatened.”
Congratulating the students on Twitter, Mr Obi called on Nigerian leaders to invest more in education to improve the human capital of the nation.
Mr Obi took to his Twitter page to recognise Master Agboola while highlighting the vital role education plays in every child’s life.
“Today marks my 62nd birthday, but there will be no celebration because in this month so far, over 327 innocent Nigerians have been killed.”
Mr Obi also paid a special tribute to the publisher and all past and present staff of The Guardian for creating the success story of The Guardian newspaper through the years.
The Labour Party flag bearer made a case for the rising insecurity, violence and bloodshed in the country as one of the reasons he chose not to celebrate his birthday.
Mr Obi said that his support for the removal of fuel subsidy dates back to the administration of former president Goodluck Jonathan.
Mr Obi said this in reaction to a recent statement made by Mr Mohammed accusing Mr Obi of inciting people to violence over the outcome of the presidential election, saying it is treasonable.
“We will secure and restore Nigeria to what it should be,” the Labour Party flag bearer said at a rally in Maiduguri.
