In Honour Of Global Statesman Extraordinaire, Chief Emeka Anyaoku @ 90 Years

By Godknows Igali 

Rt. Hon. Chief Emeka Anyaoku, one of Nigeria’s best and most celebrated ever, entered the hallowed chamber of the eldest living patriarchs as he marked his 90th birthday anniversary on 18th January, 2023.  Homebred from Nigeria’s premier University of Ibadan, which by all standards, stands out as a leading centre of learning and incubation of knowledge, Anyaoku is today, one of greatest human minds from the African continent,  acclaimed global diplomat, administrator and traditional authority.

As expected, for such a personality who has attained the apogee of human accomplishment, the world’s greatest and strongest greeted his  ripe age with the kindest of words.  Worthy of note was the congratulations from Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, who for one has a good record of regularly appreciating Nigerians who have made imprints on such occasions.  In this case, he poured encomiums on Chief Anyaoku, whom the country has honoured in various ways.
