Chief of Staff to the Governor of Cross River State, Emmanuel Ironbar, has felicitated former governor of Cross River State, Senator Liyel Imoke, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, describing him as an accomplished statesman whose years in public service left an enduring imprint on the political and developmental landscape of the state.
In a goodwill message to commemorate the milestone, Ironbar said Senator Imoke’s 65th birthday presents an opportunity for Cross Riverians to celebrate a leader whose commitment to service, institutional development and people-centred governance continues to inspire successive generations of public office holders.
According to the Chief of Staff, Imoke’s distinguished career—from his election into the Senate at a youthful age, through his service in the Federal Executive Council, to his stewardship as Governor of Cross River State—epitomised dedication, patriotism and an unwavering resolve to advance the common good.
“His Excellency, Senator Liyel Imoke belongs to that distinguished class of leaders whose contributions transcend the tenure of office. His commitment to building institutions, expanding opportunities for the people and strengthening the foundations of governance remains a defining feature of his public life,” Ironbar stated.
