Perhaps there is no better time than on the occasion of his birthday to pay tribute to a man who has become a legendary tributary that has watered and nurtured the blossoming destinies of many young people and touched countless lives in very impactful ways.
Senator Engr. Abubakar Ohere that I know and whom I am very proud to be associated with is someone from whom I have derived much inspiration and mentorship. Perhaps, it could be safely said that there are very few men of his generation who not only made great impact in building and developing the Engineering profession in Nigeria but also in building the state and nation’s in shaping and influencing public policy and political directions of this era.
He is so regarded on account of his admirable personal attributes of character nobility and refinement; unalloyed commitment and passion for the public good; forthrightness, integrity and courage of conviction. He is by every standard, one of the most respected and regarded public figures of his generation on the state and nation’s socio economic and political canvass. Ohere’s essence, is perhaps one, that symbolises the greatest measure of commitment to patriotic ideals, loyalty and commitment to the Nigerian dream and the good of mankind in general.
For me, I consider the values he espouses and his personal legacies as worthy references and inspirational model of the highest ideals and impeccable service to his people, the state and the society in general; which should serve as a veritable guide and inspiration to this generation and the ones to come, in living a life of positive impact that is steeped in uncompromising and deep-seated love for the good of the state and advancement of the society.
I’m gratify, elated, and obliged to have associated with a man who would gladly lend his shoulders for others to lean on and help you grow and achieve your dreams. As humans, we pray that in life’s journeys, we tread some paths with honest men, men whose words are their bond. Men who are dependable and reliable. Men who will keep to their words no matter the circumstances. Such men are rare and if you are lucky to find them, hold on to them and don’t lose them because they are hard to find.
For he is indubitably, a rare Nigerian and nay, Kogi icon whose imprints are indelible and far-reaching. It is with profound exultation that I wish a quintessential leader, whose brilliance and top-notch connoisseur have transformed the lives of uncountable individuals across the state. Happy birthday my leader and boss! May Allah in his infinite mercy continue to strengthened you for us. Here’s toong live, good health, and prosperity. Have my best wishes for the years ahead.
