Happy Birthday, My Governor My Big Brother, and My Leader, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, JP.
Today, I celebrate not just an exceptional governor but an exceptional big brother and someone I am truly proud of. Thank you for your love, kindness, and the genuine care you always show.
I still laugh whenever I remember how you fondly tease me about my long dresses whenever I visit Nigeria. Your usual words, "Jennifer, if dem step on this your long dress, you go fall go back," and your jokes delivered with such intentional affection always leave me smiling.
Whenever we are having family movie nights alongside Her Excellency and everyone in the house, you always ask questions about the movie several times, and still on the phone. Those little moments mean so much to me because they reflect the beautiful family bond we share.
Or is it the time after your inauguration and I couldn't go to the chapel with you and Her Excellency because I was jetlagged, after a week when I got better as Her Excellency and I came downstairs you were already down waiting you saw me and said jokingly, "Jennifer you day go chapel today hallelujah o." Those are the fun parts of His Excellency that many people do not get to see, and there are so many more memories I can't begin to mention here
His Excellency never fails to guide. Even when I am trying to push for something, he would jokingly say, "Wait, o Jennifer, you suppose to remind me. A lot of things dey my head. Abi, you forget say I be Governor?"
On this special day, I join the host of heaven and countless well-wishers around the world to celebrate your quintessential birthday.
Thank you for always being supportive, approachable, and for making everyone around you feel loved and valued. Your humility, simplicity, and large heart are truly remarkable.
"Behind every successful man there is a woman." I also want to thank Her Excellency for her constant support and love.
My prayer is that God Almighty will continue to bless you with good health, divine wisdom to make right decisions as a leader, peace, and many more years of fulfilment, happiness, and impactful service to Delta State and humanity.
Happy birthday, Your Excellency. We love you dearly and celebrate you today and always.
With love and deepest respect,
Hon. Mine Jennifer Aragbata-Etuk
Senior Special Assistant to the Executive Governor of Delta State on Diaspora Affairs.
