Today, I join family, friends, colleagues, and constituents in celebrating my dear brother and friend, Hon. (Dr.) Abubakar Kabir Abubakar (Bichi), Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation and Member representing Bichi Federal Constituency of Kano State, on the occasion of his birthday.
You are a parliamentarian of notable service whose life of service continues to inspire many within and outside the parliament. Your stewardship of our nation’s budgeting process has been marked by diligence, integrity, and foresight, making you a shining example of purposeful leadership.
Beyond your official role, you embody humility, discipline, and qualities that endear you to all who work with you. Your recent conferments of honorary doctorates — from the Federal University Dutsin-Ma, where you received a Doctor of Engineering (Honoris Causa), and from the Federal University, Kashere — are fitting recognitions of the respect you command and the impact of your contributions to national development.
Additionally, your distinction as “Reps of the Year 2024” and Best Nigerian Legislator at the Democratic Heroes Award Africa reflect not only your legislative excellence but also your deep commitment to uplifting your constituents and strengthening democratic values.
As you mark this new year, I pray for renewed strength, wisdom, and good health. May your path continue to be filled with peace, fulfilment, and even greater accomplishments in service to God and country.
Happy birthday, my dear brother and colleague.
Rep. Akin Rotimi Jr.
Spokesman, House of Representatives
Member, Representing Ekiti North 1 (Ikole/Oye) Federal Constituency
