“I joined family, friends, and leaders, including my former boss, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, at the 60th birthday colloquium in Abuja in honour of former Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Chief Emeka Ihedioha,

”For a patriot, and long-standing associate like Ihedioha, birthdays are a moment of reflection. Your birthday is a time to appreciate you for your unwavering support all through the years. More than anything, it is a moment to thank the Almighty for His blessings and grace upon you.

“As you celebrate today, I am happy to join many other well-wishers of yours to pray for you for many more years in good health and service to humanity.

Happy birthday, Emeka, and do have the best of the day. “ Atiku Abubakar
