He is a name that resonates like a symphony of purpose, a melody of service, and a hymn of dedication. As Shakespeare mused in Twelfth Night,
“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them”
Senator Godswill Akpabio effectively fits into the second category- “Some achieve greatness,”
Indeed, you, the Illustrious son of Annang Nation, have walked that path to achieving greatness with unyielding determination, like a river carving its course through rocks, steady and unstoppable.
Your journey began as a spark in the halls of High School, where the seeds of leadership took root. From the Head Boy who commanded respect to the adorable Leader of the Student Union Parliament at the University of Calabar, your ascent was like the morning sun, rising steadily to illuminate all in its path. Decades of leadership followed, each milestone painted in vibrant colours from Commissioner, Governor, Senate Minority Leader, and now, the pinnacle of legislative excellence as President of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
You are not just a leader but a phoenix of transformation. Like a master sculptor breathing life into stone, you shaped Akwa Ibom into a masterpiece. Your tenure as governor was a season of bloom, where dreams flourished . You turned the state into a tourism haven, adorned with a functional airport and a stadium that stands as a cathedral of sports which serves as eloquent testament to your vision, as grand as the sky and as solid as the earth.
Now, as Senate President, you are a bridge linking Akwa Ibom to the heart of Nigeria’s political pulse, a bridge that spans years of longing and connects dreams to reality. You are a lighthouse, guiding the ship of national progress through tempestuous waters, your light steady, hands firm, unwavering, and true.
Your life is a true reflection of your cosmos as a visionary leader, where your universe orbits around an acute messianic drive to transform lives and inspire boundless possibilities in humans.
On this day, your birthday, we celebrate not just the years you have lived but the lives you have touched. May your days ahead be as fruitful as a vineyard in full harvest, as radiant as the morning dew on emerald leaves. May your strength never falter, your vision never dim, and your impact never fade.
Sir, you are a man of greatness, a leader of legacy, a beacon of hope. Like the rising sun, may you continue to shine, warming the hearts of many and lighting the path for generations to come. Happy Birthday, Distinguished Senator and Senate President, a man whose name is etched in the annals of time.
