A statement by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the president’s Spokesman, said he joined family, friends and the people of Rivers to celebrate the former governor on the occasion of his birthday.

“The President salutes Dr Odili, recalling his valiant strides in ensuring infrastructure development in Rivers, especially by connecting major parts of the state through durable roads and providing sustainable electricity through independent power projects.

“The President acknowledges the landmark efforts of the founder of the PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Rivers, in developing human capacity in health and education for the benefit of the present and future generations.

“President Tinubu celebrates the statesman renowned for his unaffected humility and facility for mentoring and raising generations of leaders who remain at the fulcrum of impacting local, state and national development,” Ngelale stated.
