Tuesday was a historical event in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers state capital as a former Military Administrator of the old Rivers state, and member of the Supreme Military Council, His Majesty King Alfred Diette-Spiff turned 80.
Rivers state deputy governor, Dr. (Mrs) Ipalibo Harry Banigo, who joined other people of goodwill across the state and the globe to felicitate with the First Military Governor of Rivers State and Amayanabo of Twon Brass, Bayelsa state said the monarch is a man of fulfilments.
Dr. Banigo described King Diette-Spiff as the man who laid the foundation for the development of the old Rivers state, noting that as a young Military Administrator and member of the Supreme Military Council during the turbulent Nigeria civil war and post-civil war era, King Diette-Spiff left indelible footprints of astute administration, projects execution and overall human capital development, which gave the state a pride of place in the comity of states.
The deputy governor, who prayed Almighty God to continue to bless and keep King Alfred Diette–Spiff in good health, expressed delight that the Universal Peace Builders Association, an international NGO is organising a colloquium, birthday celebration and book launch in his honour.
