"For the most part of my years of marriage, my wife has continued to pull a coup on me every 28th of July. Today, as usual, Nonye in connivance with family, friends and members of the Anambra State Executive Council pulled another birthday surprise on me. I can only thank providence for yet another privilege of marking another birthday. I remember, in a special way, my age mates who have journeyed to the great beyond, and all those killed needlessly. It is my prayer that God accept their souls in paradise and grant us the grace to ensure that their death is not in vain. I celebrate our lives. I celebrate our State. I celebrate providence. I thank you all for the good wishes. I'll be proceeding to the Nigeria Correctional Service, Awka custodial centre where I will be celebrating with the inmates. I am humbled by your outpouring of love.  CC. Soludo, CFR. More photos below.
