Ochịagha has an amazing intellectual capacity. He is sharp and challenges one’s reasoning ability. I see him as a model statesman who projects the attributes of a global citizen, principled, value – driven and certainly not duplicitous. He leaves you with no doubt on his stand on any matter.

His strength of character is enviable and he reminds us that speaking truth to power is a necessary ingredient for nation – building. In celebrating this great man on his 80th, i pray for more years in good health so he sees the Nigeria of his dream.
