AS Governor Willie Maduabrochukwu Obiano of Anambra State marks his 63rd birthday anniversary on Wednesday, August 8, 2018, a lot of people in Nigeria and abroad have been sending messages to him congratulating him on attaining a new age. The messages have been coming in various forms like telephone calls, text messages, emails, media advertisements, etc.
Obiano said he appreciates all the messages and is very grateful to each and every person who has sent a message or wishes to do so. The governor, however, has told all those who would want to sponsor birthday wishes to him in the mass media to instead donate the money to charity, including the Christy Obiano Foundation which caters for orphans.
“Obiano wants to make his 63rd birthday a private affair. He will use the opportunity to meditate on the relationship between him and his maker and to thank God for his countless blessings to him and his family over the decades. He will also use the opportunity to reflect on the future of Anambra State and on the Nigerian condition.
“Obiano would like to appeal to all NdiAnambra and their friends across the globe to always remember him, his family and Anambra State in their thoughts and prayers, so that he will work more and more for the good of all.
“May God continue to guide, protect and bless the Governor and people of Anambra State, the Light of the Nation. Truly, His banner over us is love (Song of Solomon 2: 4),” a statement from the governor said.
