Hon. Kabiru Aliyu: man of estimable character, virtue »

By Abdulrahim Habib Omeiza

History is replete with those who have faced great odds to offer outstanding humanitarian services and contributions that had impacted positively in various lives in order to re-write history for better. The abilities to soar high where angels fear to tread distinguished him as accomplished personality.

Ozi-onyene, as he’s fondly called
stored in his heart the milk of human kindness that elicited tears and emotions which is very uncommon in a majority of men of his class and endowment. He believed so much in humanity and would go to great lengths to assuage the pains felt by people he met along his path.

His energy and vibrancy touches anyone who crosses his path. Everyone have a nice story to tell about his good deed and positive ways he has touched many lives, and they are today better for knowing him and are truly thankful for being a part of their lives as he often made the lifting of others, a cornerstone of his endeavour.

For the tremendous love and support that you have bestowed on me and my family I owe you a lot of gratitude. May your voyage through life be as happy and free as the dancing waves of the deep blue sea, and may you ride the crest of these waves for the rest of your life.

It’s my prayer that God Almighty
will grant you more grace of many
more years in the service of humanity and excellent health, limitless resourcefulness and with renewed vigour to better all your previous records combined. Happy birthday to a consensus builder, trail blazer, gentleman par excellence and rabbi! Cheers to your glittering new age, sir!
