Over the years,
You have continually demonstrated courageous and dependable leadership and particularly at moments when the faith of many waned.
You have helped to nurture and support an unassumingly demographic strata amongst our people with the selfless intention raising a people attributed for self-determination.

As distinguished as your father who was the first Esan man to be bestowed the respected rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), so also have you distinguished your good self as a seasoned administrator and businessman, politician with nine(9) lives having survival many political battles and of course the youngest law maker ever produced by any State House of Assembly in Nigeria till date. The records are there and they speak for themselves - rep isa loquitor

You have not only replicated your father's humane gestures, but have also committedly shown dint and grit of welfarism to many of whom the strength of the nation domiciles in your indigenous community.

A bridge-builder who draws from a limitless reservoir of wisdom, you continue to shapen events with the rare insight that you bring to some of the most complex challenges confronting our people. 

We are immensely proud of your leadership as an elder statesman and guardian of our best interests and values. 

Thank you for all you do for our people. 

I am always deeply grateful for your deep Fatherly love.
 
As you celebrate God’s benevolence of another year in your worthy earthly journey, we must thank God for His amazing grace upon your wonderful life. 

The Almighty God who has preserved and blessed you so much is still God.

We are confident that He will continue to keep you in peace and joy; enlarge your coasts; and use you as His instrument of positive leadership, influence, and change. 

In the order of the 23rd Psalm, I pray further that God will always prepare tables for you in the presence of your enemies. 

His mercies and goodness will always follow and keep you in Jesus’ name.
 
On behalf of my Family and all the good people of Igueben LGA, Esan Land and Edo State, I wish you an incredibly Happy Birthday.

Congratulations, Sir.
