In a heartwarming tribute befitting a true titan of the Niger Delta, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended a glowing congratulatory message to Chief Ayirimi Emami, the revered Itsekiri leader, businessman, politician, and philanthropist, as he clocks the golden age of 50.

In a statement released by the State House, President Tinubu lauded Chief Emami for his unflinching commitment to nation-building, peace advocacy, and safeguarding Nigeria’s vital oil and gas lifelines, particularly across the Niger Delta region. The President described Emami as “a pillar of unity, stability, and strength,” whose enduring contributions have helped maintain the delicate balance of peace and prosperity in one of Nigeria’s most strategic regions.

More personally, President Tinubu expressed deep gratitude to Chief Emami for standing firmly with him and First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu — a proud daughter of Itsekiriland — through the challenging journey of the 2023 elections. “I thank Chief Emami for his steadfast support over the years,” Tinubu said, emphasizing the leader’s loyalty and unyielding dedication to national progress.

Highlighting Chief Emami’s towering role as a bridge-builder and patriot, President Tinubu wished him robust health and continued impactful service to the Itsekiri people, the Niger Delta, and the Nigerian nation at large.
