Apostle Ezechimerem Emeonye, Founder Vision Concept International (VCIF) has joined others around the globe to celebrate Lieutenant General Azubuike Onyeabor Ihejirika on his 70th Birthday.
In the felicitation message made available to news men on Friday, Apostle Emeonye expressed hearty felicitation, also acknowledging the patriotic role General Ihejirika played in Nigeria military service and Nigeria at large.
The felicitation message reads:
On this auspicious occasion of your 70th birthday anniversary I join, your family, friends, the people of Abia State, and the entire Nigerian military community in celebrating a life of profound impact and distinguished service to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Your historic tenure as the Chief of Army Staff (2010–2014) remains a landmark in our nation’s history. As the first Igbo officer to hold that office in over four decades, you stood as a symbol of national reconciliation and professional excellence. During one of Nigeria’s most trying security periods, your leadership was defined by strategic reforms and a relentless commitment to the territorial integrity of our fatherland.
Beyond the uniform, your contributions as a “Dike Abia” (Warrior of Abia) and a bridge-builder have continued to inspire many. Whether in the trenches of counter-insurgency operations or as a respected statesman, your life has been a testament to bravery, integrity, and patriotism.
As you join the esteemed class of septuagenarians today, may the Almighty continue to bless you with robust health, long life, and the wisdom to continue serving as a beacon of hope for future generations.
Happy 70th Birthday, General!
Signed:
Apostle Ezechimerem Emeonye,
Founder, Vision Concept International (VCIF).
