Happy Birthday to a global Icon💐🎁🎂💙🍷

He is from Otueke (Ogbia LGA) of Bayelsa state. I am from Twon Brass (Brass LGA) of Bayelsa state. He and i met and shook hands during our Boys Brigade Officers Inauguration in NYSC camp Kaiama when he was the then deputy governor of Bayelsa state.

Now let us fast forward to over a decade later, he is now an elder statesman and former president and commander in Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I disliked him while he was in office as president. I criticised him for doing less. But now i know better.

While he was in office we abused, criticized and called him names. We assumed his wife Dame Patience as controlling him, so we brandished him a woman wrapper. When Rotimi Amaechi angered him, he kept his cool for so long that we called him a weak man. He was not, he is not a weakling. Now i know better.

I know now that, 'he is the only exective president that ran the administration of Nigeria with a good heart after late president Ya'adua.' What he accomplished during his dispensation; 10 PMB administrations and 10 BAT administrations cannot dare. Now i know better.

Today, i stand with all well meaning Nigerians within and in diaspora to celebrate this global icon of peace, harmony and oneness on gus birthday. Happy birthday your Excellency (former) President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Azikiwe. Your calm and overall way of life should be studied in top class universities such as Yale, Harvard etc
