Dear Madam Speaker, as you count your blessings today, permit me to reflect with you ma.

I have had my gaze at you for over two decades, from watching you on the TV screen in my school days to meeting you at your residence as one of your teeming followers in politics, I have always been struck by your God-given radiance,  Madam Speaker is merely older by age, not by look.

Again, your contributions to good governance at both state and national levels are inestimable. Your towering political finesse is transcending generations.

In you, God has defined kindness, you have lived for sixty prosperous years, healthy and happy. Therefore, here comes a day to thank God for favouring you for reasons we do not know.

Praises to the Lord of the world for His favour and protection over you and your household. I pray to God to grant you the grace to live for many more years in good health.

I warmly felicitate with you on today's occasion of your sixtieth birthday. Congratulations ma. Best wishes to you from Team Oddy.
