In the words of Katy Perry, A great man is not assessed by his achievements alone; He must also be an inspiration to many. Standing on the above assertion, Permit me to depict a man who reflects greatness in every sense of the word.
In Theodore Roosevelt's opinion, A boy who must become a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, But to win in spite of thousand repulses and defeats. And this has been evident in the life of Rt Hon. Barr. Kennedy Chidozie Ibeh, whom despite coming from a humble background grew up with an astonishing strength of will. And knowing that there is no elevator to success, he steadily ascended the stairs, battling through adversity to climb the ladder of success despite all odds. Today, the worthy son of Umuokeh ancient kingdom is the Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly.
Owing to his Sterling delivery performance, His elevation to the exalted position got the full backing of the Honourable members of the Hallow Chamber of Imo State House of Assembly and the unflinching support of His Excellency, The performing Governor of Imo State, Sen. Hope Uzodinma.
The accomplished lawmaker, Seasoned achiever and revolutionary leader has no doubt paid his dues in full and left giant footprints in the sands of time through his humane lifestyle and visionary leadership, And by so doing, he has transformed himself into a living legacy.
Over the years, Rt Hon. Barr Kennedy Chidozie Ibeh has become a harbinger of joy and relief whose leadership and humanitarian services has brought succour to many homes. In terms of employment opportunities, health intervention and socio-economic empowerment of the youth, and has remained ahead of the curve.
The love and support he has shown to widows and other less privileged individuals has set him apart as a worthy ambassador of humanity.
His kind of faith is also worthy of note. In him, i saw a man that owes his success to the abundant grace of his maker.
No wonder he invests a huge chunk of his fortune back to the service of God and humanity. He believes in the wonder-working power of prayer and strives to uphold his Christian principles on daily basis.
Little wonder he marches on with conviction rather than fear, knowing that nothing is impossible to those that believe in the supernatural power of the most high. In him, I came to understand that success and humility can coexist, and no amount of success should make one forget his Creator. His contributions to the growth of the church is testament to this very important fact.
Time, space and limited talent of expression will fail me to capture the very essence of this amazing personality in its fullness and glory. .
But being a living testimony to his life of impact and generosity, the least I can do is to seize this opportunity to celebrate an icon and also congratulate him for striking a balance between professional excellence and humanitarian frontiers.
In the words of William Pem, "I expect to pass this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any abilities that I can show to my fellow creature, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again." If you ask me, this expression captures the life of Rt Hon. Barr Kennedy Chidozie Ibeh in its entirety. And history will always remember his milk of human kindness and his desire to always put smiles on gloomy faces.
