The president joined family, friends and associates of the royal father to celebrate the milestone, heralded by many years of dedication to professional development as a lawyer, good works and commitment to promoting values of peace, neighbourliness and diligence.
He said the monarch’s contribution to national development would always be appreciated and remembered by posterity, especially in sensitising and mobilising his domain for civic responsibilities.
As the royal father turns an octogenarian, the president said he believes his wealth of wisdom would always be useful to governments and institutions, for now and the future.
The president prayed that the almighty God will bless Igwe Kingsley with longer life to keep serving his community, the nation and humanity.
