A former commissioner for finance and economic planning in Abia, Prof Philips Nto has felicitated a former Governor of the State and Senator that represented Abia Central, Senator T.A. ORJI (Ochendo Global) on his 76th birthday.
Nto in goodwill message to Senator Orji under whom he served as commissioner, noted that apart from his father, no other human being has impacted on his life like the former Governor.
Pro Nto made it clear that Senator T.A.Orji was created to redefine the lives of people around him and thanked God that he perfectly executed the given to him by God without minding whether he is appreciated or not.
While recalling the numerous legacy projects the former Governor executed while in office, the former commissioner pointed out that he remains the father of modern Abia and legend wished him many more fruitful and healthy years ahead.
The statement:
OCHENDO: CELEBRATING A LEGEND @76
Anytime I reflect on my life’s journey, your name comes up. Ever before fate led me to you, I had encountered many men. Yet, apart from my father, none has made a profound impact in my life like you have done. Like the huge elephant, you are many things to many people. To me, you are a jinx breaker, destiny facilitator and mentor of the highest degree.
I believe that you were born that way, to redefine the lives of those who came across you. Some became governors because they knew you. Others like me became Commissioners because God directed us to you, while others millionaires and billionaires because they encountered you. Whether they remember and appreciate you or not, it is immaterial because you have executed your Divine assignment.
You governed Abia at a most difficult time, yet you employed your God given wisdom and talents to navigate through that turbulent time. Some call you the liberator of Abia State. Others hail you as a courageous man who refused to be cowed. I see you as a man who returned stability to the state you love so much.
Your Excellency, your legacy projects will outlive you because they will never be erased from the hearts of those who appreciate you. Until you came as the governor, Abia civil servants never had a bonus promotion. Since you left , it has remained a dream to them.
It is with a heart full of gratitude to God that I celebrate you on your birthday. You will always remain a legend, the father of modern Abia State, the true destiny helper, a man after my heart.
Happy birthday, Your Excellency. May God continue to bless, protect and grant you a longer life in good health. Congratulations, Sir
