With profound gratitude to God, I wish to use this medium on behalf of the good people of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency, to congratulate our Leader, father, mentor and guardian; His Excellency, Captain Idris Wada, former Governor of Kogi state, on the momentous occasion of his Platinum birthday anniversary today, August 26th, 2020.
Your Excellency, we thank God for His mercies, protection and preservation over you all these years, and for making you to be in good health as you enter the exclusive “Septugenarian club.” The joy of being born is to grow up and live a worthy life while on earth. By the outpouring of God’s grace upon you, coupled with your passion for hard work, commitment, sincerity and selfless disposition, you have excelled on all fronts – family, career, politics and more.
Over the years, having followed with keen interest, your steady rise in the aviation industry where you progressed from being a pilot to distinguished Captain and Instructor, as well as a major stakeholder and employer of labour, I can truly state that you are a thorough-bred professional, astute mentor and resourceful technocrat. Similarly, as a politician and one-time Governor of Kogi state, you carved enviable niches for yourself as a responsive leader, humane and humble politician, as well as a visionary, focused and selfless administrator.
As I join family members, professional colleagues, political associates, friends, acquaintances and other numerous well-wishers within and outside the country to felicitate and congratulate you on this landmark birthday anniversary, it is my sincere prayers that God will be with you always. I pray you experience the grace, mercy and glory of God more than ever before in every area of your life. Also, I pray that God will endow you with good health, strength and long life to enjoy the fruits of your labor for Kogi state, Nigeria and humanity, Amen.
Happy birthday Sir!
HON. TEEJAY YUSUF
