The immediate past Senator representing Rivers South-East District at the National Assembly, Magnus Abe, has lauded former Rivers State Governor, Dr Peter Odili, on his 71st birthday, describing him as a role model to present and future politicians in the country.
Abe, who in a congratulatory message to Odili to mark his 71st birthday said the former state chief executive popularly described as the ‘Golden Governor’ of Rivers State had impacted lives meaningfully, irrespective of tribe and creed, locally and nationally.
Senator Abe in the statement issued by his media aide, Parry Benson and made available to The Tide, over the weekend further said the exemplary leadership qualities of the former governor and strength of character were worthy of emulation by all.
The statement reads, “Sir, as you celebrate, I, on behalf of my wife and family, joyfully rejoice with you, your family, friends, well-wishers, and admirers across Nigeria and the globe.
“History cannot sufficiently record your achievements and immense contributions to the development of our nation and the well-being of the people. Indeed, you are a rare gem, teacher and builder of human capacity.
“We pray that the Almighty God will continue to grant you good health, shower His endless love and sufficient grace upon you in Jesus name. Amen”.
