Chief Ayiri Emami, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), marked his birthday on April 26, with goodwill messages pouring in from political associates, allies, and admirers across the country.

Among the early felicitations is Dr. Barr. Michael Tidi, immediate past Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, who described Emami as an elder brother and a political leader he holds in high esteem.

Tidi commended Emami’s longstanding commitment to leadership, grassroots mobilisation, and party loyalty, noting his continued relevance in the political development of the region.

He also acknowledged Emami as a strong supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a key advocate of the MORE Agenda of Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, whom he described as his leader.

According to Tidi, Emami remains a notable cultural figure within the Itsekiri nation and a prominent voice in the broader Niger Delta region, with consistent advocacy for peace, unity, and community development. He further highlighted Emami’s contributions to youth engagement and empowerment initiatives across various communities.

He also noted Emami’s encouragement of academic pursuit and intellectual development, describing him as a supporter of scholars and professionals.

Well-wishers have continued to commend Emami’s contributions to cultural cohesion, political stability, and development, while wishing him continued success in the years ahead.
