Your support is an important berth of Anya-Ndi-Igbo, and your goodwill has been an asset in our records. With joy in our hearts, and gratitude to God Almighty, we join your subjects at home and in the diaspora, in celebrating your majesty as a good king who shows the attributes of a servant-leader.
