The Paramount king of Ndigbo in Ghana, HRM Eze Dr. Chukwudi Ihenetu, has felicitated with President and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces of Nigeria, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he celebrates his 72nd birthday today March 29, 2024.
In a statement issued from the revered Obi-Ukwu Obieziokwu Palace in Ghana, the Royal Father commended the president for yielding to the mood of the nation by canceling the elaborate birthday bash.
The president, through his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, had urged Nigerians to use his birthday to reach out to the needy by donating to charity instead of posting costly advertorials on print and electronic media.

While describing President Tinubu as a great statesman with a vision to liberate Nigeria from the shackle of bad governance, the Umuduruoha Amigbo Nwagele Imo state-born Royal Father said some of his policies are beginning to yield positive results.
On the state of the nation under the watch of President Tinubu, HRM Ihenetu, a Global Peace Ambassador, hailed the rescue of students kidnapped in Kaduna and Sokoto and re-uniting them with their parents.
“I view this as a deserving birthday gift to Mr. President and urge him to continue on this path until peace and security are returned to our beloved country, Nigeria.
“In the same vein, I also commended President Tinubu for personally attending the burial of the 17 officers and soldiers killed in Delta State during peace missions and also honoring them with national awards of OON and MON respectively.
On behalf of my family, Eders of Obi Eziokwu palace, and Igbo community in Ghana, I wish the president long live and prosperity in good health,” he prayed.
