The Cross River State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Henry Egbe Ayuk, has showered glowing tributes on the State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barr. Alphonsus Ogar Eba, in celebration of his 50th birthday, describing him as a transformational leader whose political genius has repositioned the APC as a dominant force across the South-South region.
In a heartfelt birthday message released on Sunday, Dr. Ayuk extolled the golden jubilee of the man fondly referred to as the “Political Evangelist,” noting that his ascension and influence in Cross River politics have been nothing short of extraordinary.
“This golden milestone is not merely a personal celebration,” Dr. Ayuk said, “but a profound moment of reflection on a life that has been defined by purpose, vision, and people-centered leadership. Barr. Eba has played a pivotal role in galvanizing the APC into governance and restoring its place as the South-South’s leading political machinery.”
According to the Health Commissioner, Eba’s strategic prowess and commitment to inclusive politics have inspired a generation of leaders and built the kind of unity that has anchored the party’s continued growth and stability.
“His unique ability to harmonize interests, promote inclusivity, and deliver results has not only shaped the narrative of party leadership in our state but also elevated the APC to new heights of electoral success. He is, without a doubt, one of the finest political tacticians of our time,” the Commissioner added.
On behalf of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Ayuk extended warm wishes and prayers to the celebrant, stating that Barr. Eba’s next chapter should be marked by greater achievements, peace, and divine guidance.
“As you mark this golden chapter, may the years ahead bring more wisdom, strength, and fulfilling leadership. We at the Ministry of Health celebrate you and wish you more impactful decades of service to Cross River State and Nigeria at large,” the message concluded.
