Happy birthday to our Legendary Leader with the Large heart of a father, a dogged fighter with a gentle Spirit, a rare combination of Charisma and calmness.
The master of labour tact and craft, through thick and thin you have charted a course for the labour struggle that has become a highway across the Nation, making our journey to the promised Land more realistic.
Leader of leaders, in you we see a tree fast become a great forest by masterfully raising and mentoring a host of high profile leaders unto greatness.
May the Almighty God continue to grant you good health, more wisdom, greater latitude, higher altitude, and open unto you greater access to His infinite reservoir of celestial and terrestrial goodness.
Happy birthday to you sir, a centris inter paris in the Labour movement in Nigeria and beyond. I celebrate you on this day and always.
From,
Comrade Opaluwa Eleojo,
Organiser, NUEE and Vice Chairman, NLC, Kogi State Council.
