Fellow Nigerians, please join me in congratulating one of our latest octogenarians, Chief Anthony Akhakon Anenih, who turned 80, on Sunday, August 4, 2013.
I think it is only in order, and very appropriate, to felicitate with a man who has had the uncommon privilege and ability to be in practically every government since the First Republic, when he served as a police orderly to Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, the first Governor-General of Nigeria, and has remained constantly relevant against all odds and attacks from radical elements and busy-bodies like me.
