Today, I join your family, friends, and the good people of Kogi State in celebrating not only your person but your outstanding achievements and leadership style, which ushered in unprecedented development, unity, and peace to the State and its people.
We honour your dedication, exemplary leadership, and tireless service that have inspired generations and left an enduring impact in Kogi State and beyond.
Your tenure as Governor of Kogi State set a new standard—your bold ideas and people-focused governance bridged ethnic divides and created new pathways for youth engagement in politics. You redefined leadership, establishing a powerful precedent for youth inclusion in governance.
Through your visionary initiatives and courageous policies, you brought governance closer to the people and inspired a new generation of young Nigerians to believe in their potential to lead and serve. Your legacy continues to echo in the voices of those you mentored, empowered, and uplifted.
As you mark this golden jubilee, may you reflect with pride on your extraordinary journey and look ahead with renewed hope for even greater contributions to our nation.
May Almighty Allah bless you with continued good health, peace, and many more fruitful years.
