A HEARTFELT THANK YOU
I am deeply humbled and filled with gratitude for the overwhelming love, goodwill, and support shown to me on my birthday.
To everyone who took the time to wish me well, celebrate with me, and honor my invitation to my hometown in Okoyong , Odukpani LGA, I say a resounding thank you!
This year’s celebration was not just about me, it was a tribute to the undying supporters of my principal, His Excellency, Senator Prince Bassey Otu, the Governor of Cross River State, men and women who have stood by the “People’s First” vision through the years.
Seeing them gathered, sharing in the joy, and receiving my modest tokens of appreciation reminded me of the power of loyalty, community, and shared purpose.
To the Chairmen of Councils, Commissioners, officials of government at different levels, traditional leaders, friends, amongst others, who graced the occasion with their presence, your support and camaraderie made the day even more special.
Your presence reaffirmed our collective commitment to leadership that prioritizes the welfare of our people.
As I reflect on this memorable occasion, I am reminded that true fulfillment comes from giving, serving, and standing together for a greater cause. I assure you that my dedication to the progress of our people remains undaunted, and I will continue to uphold the values of compassion, gratitude, and impactful leadership as a true disciple of the Sweet Prince.
Once again, thank you all for making my birthday a celebration of love, unity, and purpose.
May we continue to walk this path together, building a Cross River State where prosperity reaches every hand.
God bless you all!
