World Press Conference: My mouth was beaming with smile as I tried acknowledging them one by one but I realized that it was an exercise in futility. No human language can adequately convey the deep sense of profound gratitude in an effort to appreciate the unfeigned love that my brothers, sisters, friends, acquaintances who exchanged banters, conviviality, best wishes via truck-load of SMS, trailer-load of Facebook wall messages, avalanche of phone calls, uncountable numbers of cards to register their wishes for me on my birth day. From Gods General to those in political class (Especially Akwa Ibom state former Commissioner of Information and by Gods grace Akwa Ibom state Governor in 2015, Chris Abasi Eyo who went down the anal of history to present to me the significant of this day); from the hot interior of the North East Nigeria to the swampy South South Nigeria; from the cooliest city in the world, Moscow city to the hottest in the world, Djibouti city; from the outskirts of Alamala, Nigerian Army in Ogun state to the interior of Afi-Uda in Akwa Ibom state; from the my blood tree of Elizabeth, Emmanuel and Joseph to those in Federal Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs; from friends in Akwa Ibom Youth Development Association to those in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka; From those in Nnewi, Onitsha and Akoka (Lagos) to those in Presidency (Abuja) (Ben Amadi); from those who know me as President, CLO, Honourable, Possible, Scientist to those who know me as Obong-ette, Akuda, John, Edet; from the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Obot Akpabio who refused to reply my letter to the village chief who was too old to read through my hand writing; from Roseline Etim Edet - a channel I was brought into this world to those who are not wiser today than yesterday; Above all, to the Creator of the universe, God Almighty, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who are anesthesia against the life bearing desert, the Launchers of my Spirit Odyssey, the Owner of my soul and the Keeper of my life who are constantly being the cloud of pillar for me in the day time and a cloud of fire for me in the night.
