He wrote:
Yeah! I am 60.
Didn’t think I’d get here.
Considering the tumultuous life I have led; taking on the mighty and the powerful as a journalist , several arrests, torture and detention!
My God! It’s been a rough and turbulent journey but Here I am. I survived helicopter crash, even COVID 19 tried but couldn’t break me. Several conspiracies and betrayals yet I remain standing.
God has been most wonderful. He has awarded me moderate success. One that has ensured that I am sturdy on the ground and not deluded or self-conceited. He has given me good health, a wonderful wife, successful and disciplined children, promising grandchildren and fantastic friends and dutiful compatriots.
In all, I am content. What else could I ask for?
My appreciation goes to everyone who has been a part of my journey. We’ve come a long way.
My apologies to everyone whom I may have hurt in the course of living my beliefs and pursuing my goals of fighting for a better society.
To those who have hurt me, no hard feelings. I understand and I forgive you too.
Another year , this land mark particularly, affords me the opportunity to countinue to pursue my deepest beliefs which are for the betterment of our society.
I am grateful for this opportunity and I am duty bound to do my best.
