It greatly pleases me to heartily felicitate with our amazing national leader, His Excellency, Chief James Onanefe Ibori on the occasion of your 63rd birth anniversary.
Having you take the political lead as our national pathfinder has been positively remarkable in ways beyond count. You have shown courage, demonstrated patriotism and exhibited selflessness over the years, thereby establishing your indispensability in the politics and leadership of Delta State, the Niger Delta region and Nigeria as a whole.
Your remarkable success in the political arena is evident in the great reverence you enjoy from all corners of Nigeria, and the political master stroke you designed many years ago has not only promoted equity in Delta State but also ensured the peaceful coexistence of all ethnic nationalities in the once troubled state.
As a Governor, you surpassed what was widely regarded as the performance benchmark, and Deltans are truly pleased with how you successfully remodeled Delta State and set it on the path of sustainable prosperity.
Unarguably, embarking on the simultaneous creation of multiple cities in Asaba, Warri, Agbor, Ughelli, Sapele, Oghara was no mean feat. The startling bridge projects at Omadino, Ase and Bomadi as well as the numerous institutions of higher learning that were created by your administration attest to your impeccable vision for your people.
Outside your governorship office, you have continued to remain a source of inspiration to us, your people, and a rallying point for national politics. Your peace initiatives across the Niger Delta region have cemented broken walls and healed the wounds of mutual distrust that once infested it.
Over and again, you have proven yourself as a dependable leader. You have consistently preached oneness and engendered love and harmony among Deltans and Nigerians. You have demonstrated your unwavering support for good governance and played active roles in the quest to deliver democratic dividends to the masses.
As you mark your 63rd birthday anniversary, may the Almighty God grant you the gifts of long life, good health and sound mind to continue the good life that you are leading.
On behalf of myself, my family and supporters, I say congratulations on your 63rd birthday anniversary, Your Excellency.
