The Chairman/CEO of Ugama TV writes a warm letter as he celebrates Sen. Ekweremadu as he turns 58.

A birthday celebration offers both the celebrant and friends, an opportunity to walk down the memory lane, and oftentimes, the very essence of our being and life accomplishments are revealed and celebrated.

When this type of occasion arises, we don’t mince words, we rather begin to reel out, a catalog of testimonies attributable to the concerned individual.

Chief Ike Ekweremadu is an amazing leader, who has set a pace that few people even dare to match, while others stay and watch in fascination.

It has been a myriad of years, since he rose to stardom, fulfilling his destiny as a born leader, yet his name, just like a fine wine gets only better by the day. 

Ikeoha is a man whose works precedes his face. Many are yet to get close, but have seen and enjoyed his benevolence and people oriented legislative ingenuity.

The people of Enugu west, and indeed the entire South-East, have benefitted to a large extent from his quality representation. Little wonder, they always make haste to send him back, each election season, to continue his good works.

Being a fifth-time senator of the Federal republic of Nigeria, and a three-time deputy President of the senate is no mean achievement.

Ikeoha global, the Erudite lawmaker with clout and character, I celebrate you. You have utilized your years of stewardship to attract innumerable developmental projects to Enugu west senatorial district, and i will like to mention a few of them.

Oji- Achi- Obeagu-Mmaku- Ndiabor- Akaeze Road,

Nenwe- Nomeh- Mburumbu- Nara road

-Ozalla-Agbani- Akpugo- Amagunze Road,

The list is simply nexhaustible.

In solidarity and support for our state government, towards Education, Ikeoha undertook several schools construction and renovation projects, ICT awareness and equipment and teachers training programs. This feat has transformed him into a cynosure, as Principals and school heads praise his mighty works.

Nwoke eji eje mba,
Through your Foundation (The Ikeoha foundation), you have put smiles on the faces of both students and their parents through scholarships and bursary awards. The yearly relief you bring to farmers through the training and the micro credit facilities can never be overemphasized, You are indeed the man of the people.

Dear Ikeoha,
you have constantly demonstrated your interest in the welfare of your people, through your numerous life enhancing programs, such as grants, Football competitions, youth empowerments programs, Human capital development etc and we’re grateful.

Ikeoha Ndi Igbo,
Your annual collaboration with your amiable wife, Mrs Nwanneka Ike Ekweremadu, has lifted the burden of widows, physically Challenged and the less privileged every other festive season.

Ikeoha,
I must say, that I am in awe of your personal traits. Such intense brilliance, dedication, forthrightness, Gentility and ambitiousness in a person, traits that have aided in bringing your childhood dreams of being a renowned lawyer to reality. These traits are sources of inspiration to me and many others.

Ikeoha global, CFR,
For the lack of podium and diction to continue to describe your essentiality as a leader, politician, father, husband , mentor and friend, I beg to stop with a prayer on your Birthday.

My prayer is that the Good Lord never lifts his countenance off you. May He nourish you daily with all you need to continue fulfilling this great destiny of yours. Amen.

May He imbue in you the zeal, grace and courage to stand firm and deliver quality representation as always, even when called upon to function in an even bigger capacity. Amen.

Live long and continue to prosper. Amen

Ihe dika Ikeoha Ndigbo akókwana anyí ooo !!!
