As dawn broke over Nigeria, the air carried more than the promise of a new day, it carried the celebration of a man whose life has become a symbol of courage, conviction, and unwavering service.
The Senate President, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, marked his 63rd year on earth, and across the country, tributes rise like a chorus.
But among the voices, one stands out, the heartfelt salute from the Nigeria Scrabble Federation, a body that understands the true weight of leadership, precision, and strategic excellence.
For the NSF, led by President Engineer Bright Idahosa and the Board, celebrating Akpabio is more than marking a date on the calendar.
It is acknowledging a man whose leadership in the legislative arm his support for sports and Scrabble in particular has become a steady compass in uncertain times.
A man whose courage is not just spoken of, but felt. Whose vision does not flicker with the winds of politics, but burns brightly, guiding a nation hungry for progress in sports and the economy.
At 63, Akpabio stands tall, an emblem of resilience, a catalyst for development, and a voice that refuses to waver when Nigeria needs clarity the most.
His commitment to national sports growth has inspired generations, giving countless young Nigerians a reason to believe that their dreams, too, can find room to breathe.
And so today, as he adds another year to a life already rich with impact, the Scrabble family joins millions across the country to celebrate a leader whose journey continues to illuminate Nigeria’s path.
They pray for more strength.
