Below is text of the former Delta State governor’s birthday message for his daughter, Hon. (Mrs) Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu. Chief James Ibori wrote:
Erhiatake,
Today 45 years ago, God almighty gave you to the family. I celebrate you with immense pride and gratitude. Over the years, you have grown into a fearless and principled leader, standing firm against compromise and defending values greater than personal gain. Your decision to walk in my footsteps politically has been vindicated. Without you the assaults on my legacy might have prevailed.
I thank God for your life, as well as the mentors, supporters, and loved ones who have guided you on this journey. Today, I wish you continued good health, divine wisdom, and unyielding strength as you forge ahead. You have made your immediate family proud, your siblings proud, and your constituency proud. Above all, you have made me profoundly proud.On behalf of my wife, your siblings, and our entire family, I pray that today is as remarkable as the impact you make every day. Happy 45th Celebration, Erhiatake! May the years ahead shine even brighter.
Dad.
