Oromoni, Manbene III, Pere Ama-Okosu of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom, Today, I stand in dual honor — as a public servant and, more dearly, as your son — to celebrate a man who embodies dignity, wisdom, and unwavering strength. Your Majesty, your reign has not only brought pride to the throne of Ogbe-Ijoh but has restored deeper meaning to what it means to be a traditional ruler in our time. Through your calm leadership and rare foresight, you have lifted our kingdom into a season of unity, peace, and purposeful advancement. But beyond your public image, I celebrate you as a father — one whose words have guided me, whose actions have inspired me, and whose humility continues to teach me that leadership is not a crown on the head, but a weight carried with grace. As your nephew, I remain eternally proud to be of your lineage. As your subject, I am committed to supporting your vision for the Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom and the greater Ijaw nation. On this special day, may God in His infinite mercy continue to keep you in strength, health, and fulfillment. May your reign remain fruitful, and may generations yet unborn speak of your legacy with pride. Happy Birthday, Your Majesty. We celebrate you — not just as a King, but as a father to many and a blessing to all. With love and loyalty, Mr. Keyness Oromoni Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Oil and Gas
