A former Campaign Director for Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election, High Chief T. O. E. Ekechi, has described the Deputy Chairman, Imo State Council of Elders, Prince Lemmy Akakem, who marks his 75 years birthday, as a sincere “benefactor who gives without asking, and forgives without conditions, and from whom love oozes in pure innocence.”
In a birthday message he personally signed, and made available to journalists in Owerri, Ekechi urged Nde Imo to stand up for Ndaa Lemmy, “a natural prince who is a true definition and reflection of his tittle – Okpata Ozuoha”.
The Ngor Okpala born business mogul praised the erstwhile Spartans and Iwuanyanwu Nationale (now Heartland) of Owerri chairman, as a gentleman, “born to royalty, immersed in affluence, and inducted into fame at youth, yet opts to living in the hearts of men.”
In wishing Akakem a resounding birthday celebration, Dr Ekechi, who signed the statement with his wife, Tata, described Prince Akakem as a sincere benefactor.
He said Prince Lemmy is neither translucent nor opaque, but absolutely transparent, in all his dealing with fellow men. “Perhaps, what stands him out most from his contemporaries besides his sense of humility is his sense of gratitude. Akakem has this tendency to appreciate little courtesies and favours out of proportion almost to the embarrassment of the giver.”
He concluded by praying to be like Prince Akakem while inviting the prince to anoint him with the oil of youthful age and wisdom.
