It is with a heart full of joy and gratitude to God that I congratulate you, our father and elder Statesman, Dr Emelike Okoro on the occasion of your glorious 80th birthday anniversary.

Sir, you are among the rare breed of privileged few who, through the grace of God, have attained this age . It is exhilarating that you are blessed to be 80 in good health and sound mind. To God be the glory.

In the course of your public service, you impacted millions of people, including my humble self, through your exemplary conduct of honesty , fearlessness, integrity , courage and above all speaking truth to power.

Indeed, I can not forget the life lessons you taught me when I was the Commissioner for Finance and Economic Planning in Abia state. Your pieces of advice were invaluable. Your candid analysis of the political dynamics of those days assisted me greatly. Thank you Sir.

Your sterling performances as the Programme Manager of Abia ADP and Secretary to Abia State Government, have continued to inspire my generation to see public office as a platform to serve God and humanity and thereafter impact lives positively.

In the agricultural sector, you have been a towering giant , imparting knowledge effortlessly and generally being a beacon. You have influenced so many people in this field. Your days at ADP with the numerous World Bank projects you executed remain indelible. I am glad that the Agricultural Society of Nigeria recognised your numerous efforts with a deserving award.

But it was in politics that you showed like a million stars. Although you were content to be a kingmaker, your role during the turbulent period preceding the last governorship election in Abia state will never be forgotten. Your insistence on the implementation of the Charter of Equity, your principled stance on justice, your unwavering commitment to the stability of Abia State, have made you a legend. I am proud of you.

As you celebrate your birthday, I wish to inform you that many of us will continue to hold you in higher esteem for fighting for even the generation unborn. You are indeed an epitome of truth and courage who deserve the accolades of all.

On behalf of my wife,Dr Chioma and staff of Agribusiness Incubation Centre, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, I say happy birthday to you Sir.
