73 HEARTY CHEERS TO AN ICONIC STATESMAN
Today offers more than a birthday; it offers a moment to honour a life that has steadfastly lifted the hopes and standards of our people. With gratitude and deep respect, I, Sunday Michael, Special Adviser to Governor Bassey Otu on the Obudu Ranch Resort, together with my family, celebrate Chief Clement David Ebri on his seventy third birthday.
Your name, sir, occupies a distinguished place in the political and developmental history of Cross River State. As former governor, you charted a course defined by discipline, foresight and uncommon devotion to the common good. Your policies and reforms, though implemented decades ago, continue to bear fruit in the lives of our people. Such enduring impact is possible only when leadership is shaped by integrity and an unwavering passion for service.
As a proud son of Yakurr, I share in the privilege of calling you one of our finest. Your remarkable journey remains a source of pride for our local government and a wellspring of inspiration for younger generations who aspire to lead with character, wisdom and courage. The grace and dignity with which you have served continue to illuminate the path for those who seek to build, uplift and contribute meaningfully to the progress of our state.
On this special occasion, my family and I pray that the Almighty bless you with renewed strength, joy and fulfilment. May this new chapter of your life be enriched with vibrant health and the tranquillity befitting a statesman of your stature.
Happy seventy third birthday to a distinguished leader, mentor and father figure. Your legacy is a treasured gift to Cross River State, and we celebrate you with profound admiration and respect.
Signed:
Sunday Michael
Special Adviser to the Governor on Obudu Ranch Resort
