Happy Birthday to a Distinguished Stateswoman and Voice of the Diaspora!
Dear Hon. Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa,
On behalf of the entire team at Nurses Across the Borders Humanitarian Initiative and the Diaspora Nurses Association of Nigeria (DNAN), I extend our warmest felicitations to you on this auspicious occasion of your birthday.
As a Pastor and a humanitarian, I recognize that every new year of life is a divine gift from the Almighty. Today, we pause to celebrate the life of a woman who has donned many hats with remarkable resilience, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the Nigerian people.
Your tenure as the Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) has been marked by commendable, tireless advocacy. We deeply appreciate your relentless efforts in rescuing countless Nigerians from the jaws of human traffickers and standing as a formidable shield against xenophobic attacks across the globe. For teeming Nigerians scattered across the diaspora, you have not just been a government official; you have been a rallying point, a compassionate mother, and a steadfast advocate who gives a voice to the voiceless.
In the spirit of true statesmanship and objective leadership, I must acknowledge that we have not always seen eye-to-eye on every principle or policy in the past. We have had our moments of principled disagreement. However, true greatness is measured by the ability to be objective enough to appreciate good works regardless of personal or political differences. Today, I set aside every differing opinion to celebrate your undeniable achievements and the positive impact you have made on the lives of millions of Nigerians globally.
Today is a day to celebrate you, and it is my heartfelt prayer that the Almighty God continues to guide, protect, and strengthen you.
I pray:
· May the Lord bless you and keep you, and cause His face to shine upon you (Numbers 6:24-26).
· May He grant you divine wisdom that surpasses human understanding, and the grace to continue to lead with integrity and courage.
· May God Almighty renew your strength like the eagle’s, and grant you the grace for much greater heights, robust health, and profound joy in the years ahead.
· May your light never dim, and may your legacy of advocacy and humanitarian service continue to inspire generations.
Happy Birthday, Ma’am! May this new chapter bring you abundant peace, favor, and divine alignment.
Warmest regards and best wishes,
Pastor Peters Omoragbon
Executive President,
Nurses Across the Borders Humanitarian Initiative
