****CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO ENGR. MIKE ORUGBO, OVIE-ELECT OF UDU KINGDOM
On behalf of the Udu sons and daughters residing in the United States, I extend my warmest congratulations to Engr. Mike Orugbo on his successful emergence as the Ovie-elect of Udu Kingdom.
This remarkable milestone marks not only a personal achievement for Engr. Orugbo but also a significant turning point in the collective journey of the Udu people towards unity, development, and cultural renaissance.
Engr. Orugbo’s elevation to the royal position is a testament to his unwavering commitment to community service, integrity, and leadership excellence over the years.
As a seasoned technocrat and a man of deep wisdom, his wealth of experience in both public and private spheres inspires great hope and confidence in the future of Udu Kingdom.
His selection reflects the will of the people and the divine mandate of our ancestors who continue to guide our destiny.
For those of us in the diaspora, particularly here in the United States, this moment is deeply symbolic.
It reminds us of our roots, our heritage, and our enduring connection to the land of our birth. Even from thousands of miles away, our hearts beat in rhythm with Udu, and we share in the joy and pride that comes with this new chapter in our kingdom’s history.
In this spirit, I make a heartfelt call to all Udu sons and daughters—at home and abroad—to rally around our Ovie-elect. This is not the time for division or apathy. It is a time for unity, for cooperation, and for a renewed commitment to building a stronger Udu Kingdom. The challenges ahead are many, but with collective effort and visionary leadership, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
We must all put our hands on deck to support Engr. Orugbo with the resources, counsel, and encouragement he will need as he prepares to ascend the throne. Let us celebrate him not only with words, but also through meaningful actions—by promoting peace, supporting local development, preserving our culture, and mentoring the next generation of Udu leaders.
To Engr. Orugbo, we say: your emergence has filled us with pride and renewed our hope for a brighter future.
We stand with you, we pray for wisdom and strength for you, and we look forward to seeing Udu Kingdom flourish under your reign. May your leadership be marked by fairness, progress, and lasting legacies.
Congratulations once again, Ovie-elect. Long live Udu Kingdom. Long live our unity. Long live our heritage.
Signed,
Nathaniel Bakpa
