Life is a gift from God, informing why people celebrate their annual birthdays in different styles and colors just to appreciate God’s benevolence of keeping them alive.

“During the lockdown, we set up adhoc committee chaired by the Vice Chairman of Ukehe United Front, Mr Andy Igwe and the entire executive and we were able to provide palliatives support of #5000 each to about 50 of our members in great need.” He said.
He used the opportunity to thank all the said illustrious people who supported the palliatives project and prayed God to replenish their pockets in million folds.
“Finally, I can’t celebrate without thanking my wife, children, siblings, friends, my relations for their love towards me. To my clients who engage my legal services making life enjoyable for me and my family, I remain ever grateful to God and you all.” He said.
Earlier in a statement made available to newsmen by the Secretary General of the entire Ukehe community resident in Abuja and its environs under the umbrella of Ukehe United Front (UNFA), Mr Edward Okoro, a former banker and a business mogul at the association’s Secretariat in Abuja, said that a day like this is slated to thank God for adding another year to the life of their chairman.
He further described the chairman as a man of integrity who always stand by truth no matter how highly placed the person disrupting the truth is in the society.
“Nwodo is a team player and a mobilizer. We are not only celebrating the birthday of our chairman but we are also celebrating the anniversary of the current Executive members of Ukehe United Front (UNFA) led by him.
