Today would been half done if I do not take a quality time to celebrate my brother, friend and ally who has been many things to many people. A man of many parts, fearless, focused and indefatigable erudite leader.

Chief Dr Orji Uzor kalu, two time Governor of Abia State and Senator Representing the Good people of Abia North Sartorial Zone, will remain the “Mmiri Nyiri Enyi of Ndigbo”, the OUK of Africa (Oke Oji), the mighty Iroko of our time.

And the good book says “many are the afflictions of a man, but God delivers him from them all”.

As you mark your 60th Birthday today, let it be the beginning of a new phase of your life as you will be alive to reap the fruits of your hard labour.

Happy Birthday and many more returns.

Chief Dr Emeka Kalu (ECK)
