I give thanks to God Almighty always for keeping you in very sound health with great wisdom, grace and strength as the fountain and wellspring of blessings to the people of Asaba kingdom, our State Delta and our nation, Nigeria in general.

 

Since your ascendancy to the throne, you have continued to radiate a transcendental glory, love, uprightness, justice, fairness as well as inexorable source of inspiration in all virtues; honesty, diligence, industry, accommodation and peaceful coexistence for which our people are known. 

 

At 98, you remain a living legend, an outstanding national Icon, a renowned statesman and patriot who has contributed immensely to the development of the medical profession, the traditional institution as well as the unity, stability and development of Delta State and Nigeria at large.

 

To the younger general of leaders, you remain a beacon of light and shining demonstration that the essence of leadership lies only in seeking the good, happiness and sustenance of others at all time.

 

Your Royal Majesty, on this great day, as our people roll out the big drums in celebration, I pray to God to preserve you in good health, peace, unlimited joy and grant you many more decades on the throne to the Glory of His Name and the benefit of humanity. 

 

Congratulations Your Royal Majesty!
