President Bola Tinubu’s former spokesman in the south east, Denge Dr. Josef Onoh, has felicitated with Nigeria’s former Military President, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) on the General’s 83rd birthday.
Onoh said he celebrates IBB at 83 because of his consistent nationalism, patriotic inclination and leadership mentorship over the years.
“I thank the Almighty for the gift of life and his mercies upon you. To many, you are a mystery wrapped in a riddle, inside an Enigma. To us you remain an endearing friend, father, uncle, guardian, grandfather, pillar of wisdom and most of all, the people’s General of Generals!
“I celebrate you once again, I’m indeed lucky and blessed to have and still benefit from your fatherly advice.
“in the words of Shakespeare, ‘Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in his head; and this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in every thing.’ Happy Birthday General.”
