“We have been deeply honoured by the love you have always shown to the state of your birth and the support and prayers you have equally shown to our administration.

“You are truly an epitome of the Akwa Ibom spirit of excellence, creativity, industry, and universal love, and we are sure you will continue to project these ennobling ideals at larger platforms such as the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 20, 2025. We are deeply proud of you, and congratulations to you, our dear son!”
