I joined our former President, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Jonathan, and my dear brother and friend, the Governor of Bayelsa State, His Excellency Senator Douye Diri, to celebrate the 70th birthday of my friend, Senator Emmanuel Paulker, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

My family and I join countless Nigerians in congratulating the distinguished Senator on this milestone. His remarkable life of service as a teacher, commissioner, and three-term senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria reflects his steadfast dedication to Bayelsa, Nigeria, and humanity.

He is a true patriot whose contributions to national development remain commendable. May God bless him with years of good health and a sound mind. Amen.
