Your Excellency, on this special occasion of your birthday, we celebrate not just the anniversary of your birth, but the enduring impact of your leadership, a leadership that has become a lighthouse in times of uncertainty and a compass guiding Abia State toward renewal and progress. Like the steady hands of a master builder, you have begun laying foundations where others only made promises, turning hope from mere rhetoric into roads, systems, and structures that citizens can see, touch, and benefit from.

Your tenure has become a story of restoration, where governance speaks in the language of service, where public office is treated as public trust, and where the ordinary citizen is placed at the centre of policy and progress. Through discipline, clarity of vision, and courageous decision-making, you have demonstrated that leadership is not about occupying power, but about using power to lift people. In a time when many doubt governance, your work stands like a living testimony that good leadership is not a myth, it is possible, practical, and powerful.
As you mark another year, may your days be strengthened with wisdom like ancient trees rooted deep in purpose, may your vision remain sharp like the morning sun breaking through clouds, and may your service continue to write golden chapters in the story of Abia State and Nigeria. May history remember you as one who did not just hold office, but honoured it.
Happy Birthday, Your Excellency.
May your new year be filled with greater accomplishments, stronger impact, and enduring legacy.
Signed
Hon. Jerry Okundaye
Spokesperson/Publicity Secretary
