Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has eulogized a member of the National Caucus and also a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Benjamin Apugo for his contributions to society.
Speaking in Umuahia during the celebration of the elder statesman’s birthday, Governor said the state was not only celebrating Prince Apugo’s contributions to humanity, but also his selflessness.
“Well, we thank God for his life. Not just his life, for good health, for his contributions to society.
“And as we celebrate him, we celebrate everything around him. We celebrate his contributions to society. We celebrate his selflessness.
“We celebrate his support for the less privileged. I’m sure you have seen how this place was filled up even before I came. That is what is important”.
The Governor said there was only so much one can acquire and deal with as an individual, stressing that what makes the impact was how many people the person supported how many and helped in life.
“And from my own assessment and from where I sit, I believe he has done very, very well. And I wish him a happy birthday. We pray that God will continue to keep him.
“We pray that as the Lord lives, that he will see 90, he will see 100. And if he chooses to do 110, he will see 110. And in good health, that’s what’s most important.
“Because you see some old men and women that are so frail and struggling. They become liabilities to people looking after them. But you can see him, looking very healthy”.
Otti thanked God for His grace upon Apugo that he looks “even fitter than some of us that are in our 60s”.
