Ambassador Dr Samantha Simeon led the tributes and described Chief Okirika as “a remarkable leader whose life story, as captured in his autobiography, continues to inspire generations with its message of resilience, vision, and public service.”

Chief Okirika’s autobiography, widely regarded as a powerful chronicle of his personal journey and political struggles, has resonated with many across the region. It details the challenges he has overcome, his unwavering advocacy for the Niger Delta people, and his vision for a more just and prosperous society.

“Chief Okirika has been a guiding light for many. His leadership transcends politics; it reflects a deep commitment to justice, equity, and unity within our diverse communities,” said Ambassador Simeon.

A revered traditional titleholder and statesman, Chief Okirika’s influence spans both cultural and political spheres.

Over the years, he has remained a key voice in championing the rights and welfare of the Niger Delta region. He has been instrumental in efforts to foster communal harmony and inclusive development.

Ambassador Simeon called on younger generations to embrace Chief Okirika’s legacy and remain committed to his ideals, especially in amplifying the voices of historically marginalised communities.

“May your life continue to inspire hope and resilience in all of us,” she said in her message to the celebrant.

The celebration of Chief Okirika’s birthday serves not only as a personal milestone but also as a moment of collective appreciation for a man whose life’s work continues to shape the sociopolitical landscape of the Niger Delta.
