I call you father like so many others but you are more than a father to me.
You are my mentor, my leader and destiny helper.
How can I express what exactly you mean to me and my family in human language which I know is limited.
However, I can only say to you Adayi Obanyi, may this milestone 50th birthday mark a celebration of your remarkable journey, filled with wisdom, warmth, and wonder.
May you celebrate many more years of inspiring others with your presence, and may you as a living legend continue to roar loud and proud.
May you continue to be a blessing not only to Ebiraland and Kogi state but to the whole nation.
Happy Birthday sir.
Hon. Fatima Momoh
Kogi State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development.
