Dear Mr. Zachariah Dauke Suleiman, our Distinguished Senator of Southern Kaduna Senatorial District come 2023(in the making by God’s grace).
You are a man full of love and passion for his people- Southern Kaduna, and for his fatherland – Nigeria. You are a man full of optimism and drive for a better Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria. You are a man full of zeal for economic, social and political justice, equity and advancement. You are a man who simply wants a better life for his people. Happy 60th Birthday Anniversary Sir and Happy Retirement from the Public Service after 34 years of prudent, relentless and sincere service to your fatherland- Nigeria. Happy birthday to MR. ZACHARIAH DAUKE SULEIMAN our Distinguished Senator of the Southern Kaduna Senatorial District come 2023 (in the making). We warmly and heartily celebrate you!
Since today is a double celebration for you, permit me to first of all wish you a Happy New Year, then to congratulate you for completing the stipulated 34 years in the Public Service today. It’s evident that your time as a Public Servant has been blessed with so many glittering milestones. Well done sir. You have served your fatherland- Nigeria in the Public Service space very well. No wonder, you want to also serve the land in the Political leadership space as well. Those who know you and what you stand for are already fielding in their supports to see that you make it to the National House of Assembly as our Senator because they know that the people and the land will prosper while justice and equity will flourish.
Again, as it is also notable that today is your 60th Birthday! You deserve to be celebrated all round. So, happy birthday Sir! I celebrate you, we celebrate you now and always! Celebration and sounds of victory shall never depart from your household now and always.
A man is known by what he does or says when no one is watching him. It is on this premise that I applaud your person and the salient ideologies you hold and stand for. These ideologies are purely people – centred.
I have had the privilege to sit one on one with you to discuss extensively on the plights of our people and I have come to realize that you are full of optimism for Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria as a whole. You have never ceased to stress on the need for peaceful coexistence among all people. You never miss a chance to stress, passionately, on the need for “management of our cultural diversity” in Southern Kaduna and even in Nigeria. You believe that it is one of the major tool for fostering both peaceful coexistence among the Nigerian populace and for fostering positive growth and development in our society.
In addition, as a trained manager and astute businessman and sound leader that you are, you have opened my eyes to how powerful “economic freedom” is and how you intend to spread this freedom across all corners of Southern Kaduna and subsequently, all corners of Nigeria. It is even more evident by the number of jobs you have created for youths, men and women in Zonkwa and its environs via the “Agro Company” that you own and other chain of businesses that you have established.
Finally, I can go on and on and on in listing and eulogizing the amiable feats you have achieved in the various and meaningful facets of our society. However, I hope this suffice for now even as you deserve more.
God bless you richly our Distinguished Senator of the Southern Kaduna Senatorial District come 2023 (in the making).
