Today marks a milestone in your existential journey. As you turn 50 today, the world has every reason to celebrate your life that is so remarkable in several respects.
At fifty, you have achieved what many could not achieve in a lifetime.
Your remarkable life is worthy and deserving of celebration.
Both in private and public lives, you have demonstrated that you essentialise humanity as the focal point of your existence.
Little wonder that multitude of people, especially the youths and the vulnerable have benefited and continue to benefit from your milk of kindness and magnanimous disposition.
As a liberator, you brought succour to the good people of Ebira in particular and Kogi in general.

Your developmental templates which your worthy successor has espoused have continued to put Kogi State on a developmental trajectory.
As a leader, your fairness to all, irrespective of ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation is well documented.
Little wonder that Kogi State under your watch witnessed unprecedented peace and harmony.
As you turn fifty today, I celebrate you. As a leader, your best is yet to come.
On behalf of my family and political followers and associates, I wish you a very happy birthday.
