An emotional birthday message from Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso (OFUJI) to his former principal, Engr. Enyinnaya Nwafor (popularly known as NANA), has stirred memories of unity, sacrifice and shared purpose from the historic 2023 Abia State governorship election.
Rather than a routine congratulatory note, Anyaso’s message reads like a heartfelt reflection on a journey that shaped relationships and redefined political partnership in Abia State.
Recalling their time together during the governorship race, Anyaso described his working relationship with Nwafor as one built on trust, mutual respect and shared values, stressing that their bond went far beyond electoral ambition.
According to him, the experience of working as a deputy to Engr. Nwafor was a defining chapter one that strengthened personal ties and proved that politics could still be anchored on sincerity and honour.
In his glowing tribute, Anyaso praised Nwafor’s humility, discipline and unwavering commitment to service, qualities he said continue to inspire not just him, but many Abians who remain hopeful for a better future.
He described Nwafor not only as a leader, but as a friend and brother in purpose, a rare description that has resonated strongly with observers familiar with Abia’s political terrain.
As Engr. Nwafor marks another year, Anyaso offered prayers for good health, long life, divine wisdom and greater grace, expressing confidence that the future remains bright for his former principal.
The message ended on a deeply personal note:
“Happy Birthday, my MAN. The future remains bright.”
Beyond birthday wishes, the tribute has reopened conversations about loyalty, unity and purposeful leadership in Abia politics values many believe are increasingly scarce but deeply needed.
