The wife of the Rivers State Governor, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike on Tuesday morning  hosted Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike  to a profound birthday celebration.
The birthday  celebration, held at the governor’s official residence, was attended by friends and associates of the governor from all the three senatorial districts of the state.
The modest birthday celebration  was marked by prayers, Christian songs of praise and tributes to a leader, who has invested his God-given resources and talents in the development of the state.
It was a unique birthday celebration  in every respect.  It was a wonderful  celebration  for Nigeria’s  best performing governor in an atmosphere of love and friendship. It was a wife’s gift to a loving husband.
The introductory  aspect of the birthday celebration was significant. The select guests seated in the hall repeatedly heard the sound of the Shofar, a musical instrument. The sound got louder and behold, it was the First Lady of Rivers State, Honourable Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike,  blaring the shofar.
A shofar is a simple musical instrument  made from a ram’s horn. It is blared as a memorial of glory. Indeed, the celebration  of  Governor Wike  is the evolving story of glory of the people of Rivers State.
Speaking  at the special birthday celebration, the Rivers First Lady said that Governor Wike  was a light that God has used to shine  on the path of the people of the state.
She prayed God to continue to bless Governor Wike, grant him the best of health and make him live a very long and productive  life.
She said: “Everything he has passed through in life has strengthened him and made him a better person. It is God that gives him the  strength to serve humanity  with love and courage.
“I know that we shall grow old together. He will continue  to  succeed in everything  he does.”
Speaking further, Justice Nyesom-Wike decreed prophetically: “Your (Governor Wike ) name will be popular far beyond  the  shores of Nigeria. Your popularity will be a worldwide affair. Anywhere you go, they will talk about Nyesom, such that  knowing Nyesom will be a diplomatic passport.”
She described  Governor Wike as a loving husband, caring father and a role model to his children and  youths. She added that the governor was a selfless leader, who is focused towards achieving  goals that will promote welfare of the people.
Head of Service, Rivers State, Mr. Rufus Godwins, said that Governor Wike  was a leader, who leads by example, adding that the governor is a leader  who leads from the front to give the  people the required direction.
Godwins said: “What happened  on Monday was the show of courage by  our governor.  He is not a retired army officer or a retired police officer, yet he led his people from the front.”
He noted that the victory  of the PDP during  the  rerun elections  was the best birthday  gift for Governor Wike  from the good people  of Rivers State.
For Governor Wike, the birthday  celebration  offered him the opportunity  to  rededicate himself  to  the selfless  service  of Rivers State  and humanity.
He  said he would continue  to lead Rivers State  to greater heights through the implementation of quality programmes and projects.
Wike expressed gratitude  to  his wife, children, associates and good people of  Rivers State  for their support , love and prayers.
