As you mark your birthday today, even though you never made the day epochal in the past, pls note of the common adage that says: “A GOLDEN FISH HAS NO HIDING PLACE”, the world is celebrating you in open and in silence whether it’s fanciful or palatable to you or not sir. You just have to rhyme with the inescapable reality.
As you mark 3years since you retired into private life away from the public service life today, so much has been achieved, attained, celebrated and actualized in line with your personal vision and mission toward realizing your objective of meeting with your Creator ALLAHU WAHIDUL QAHAR in high spirit and total humility. It’s no wonder that you have unapologetically and unrelentingly launched and pursued the cause of HUMANITARIANISM by formally establishing the AL-ANSAR FOUNDATION as a driver with its tentacles spread across other spheres of human endeavors. Even though service to humanity has been your cardinal principle and operational catchphrase since childhood as reported by your childhood friends, the fact that you have gone beyond the shores of Dikwa and Kanem-Borno Empire signifies that indeed your kindness knows no boundary as your genuine concern for the less privileged members of the society devoid of parochialism or any other consideration are legendary.
Your personal sacrifice and quest for egalitarian Society, especially in the areas of impacting Islamic and Western Education cum provision of security, health care services would no doubt go along way in achieving your goal of establishing the AL-ANSAR UNIVERSITY, AL-ANSAR SECURITY & AL-ANSAR HOSPITAL amongst other arms of the Foundation.
My fervent prayer is that ALLAH SUBHANAHU WATA’ALAH shall grant you quality health, peace, spiritual will, prosperity and endless blessings so as to continue to serve HIM in all the callings of life you find yourself.
As a Muslim believer that does not let modernization or worldly activities conquer your faith in such away that your worship to Allah in it’s prescribed way has always been sacrosanct to you in line with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) as a code of life and guidance to the right path, may your future birthdays be filled with pleasant achievements and memories more than the years you spent on earth in the past. May you never regret your actions and inactions in life and May you ultimately be amongst the Dwellers of Aljannah Firda’us, Ameen Yaa Hayyu Yaa Qayyum Sir.
Ma’Assalam.
