A socio-political and economic development-oriented organisation, Anya-Ndi-Igbo, on Saturday, congratulated the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, on his 84th birthday.

The group noted this in a statement jointly signed in Enugu by its President, Chris Okoye, and Chairman, Board of Trustees, Dr Uma Eleazu.

The statement also commended the support of Mr Achebe in the evolution of the group.

“Anya-Ndi-Igbo rejoices with you on the twin anniversaries of your royal birth and coronation as Obi of Onitsha on May 14, 1941, and 2002, respectively. Your support is an important berth of Anya-Ndi-Igbo, and your goodwill has been an asset in our records. With joy in our hearts, and gratitude to God Almighty, we join your subjects at home and in the diaspora, in celebrating your majesty as a good king who shows the attributes of a servant-leader. Please, accept your royal majesty, the assurances of our highest regards,” the statement added (NAN)
