The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Chief Ike Oye, says it has been a great life journey at 66.
The National Chairman, who spoke at a surprise birthday party organised by some party members to celebrate his new age thanked supporters and friends of the party for making his reign worthwhile.
It was an evening of surprises and accolades as speaker after speaker eulogised the Chairman who they described as godly, humane and an epitome of accountability.
Addressing the guests, Chief Oye, while thanking God for leading him through the 66 years on earth, thanked the organisers for the surprise and urged members to always trust in God as He alone knows their problems at all times.
He prayed for a better Nigeria in his time, saying that his sojourn in politics in over forty years has been a great success as APGA has grown in leaps and bounds since he mounted the leadership.
Speakers at the surprise party, including Honourables Chris Azubogu, and Leo Nwuba and the APGA Vice Chairman, South East, Chief Uche Nwegbo, said they are celebrating visionary leadership that has shaped and held the party strongly together to oust imposters.
For others such as the Organising Chairman of the party, Chief Emeka Okonkwo, National Youth Leader of APGA, Chinedu Nebeife, Nnanna Nzewi, Chief Chikwe Udensi amongst others, he is a leader who has touched every aspects of their lives and treats everyone equally as he has no favourite.
The APGA Chairman who had earlier said he was not celebrating his 66th birthday, came into the venue of the party with the “Buga” dance steps flanked by friends and party faithful.
