REV. MAXWELL AGUNZE AKPATI.
On the joyous and historic occasion of your 80th birthday, Tuesday, 17th February 2026, I celebrate you with a heart overflowing with gratitude, honour, admiration, and deep love.
Daddy, Rev. Maxwell Agunze Akpati, your life has been a living sermon—one richly woven with faith, discipline, humility, and selfless service to God and humanity. For eight remarkable decades, you have stood firm as a pillar of righteousness, a custodian of wisdom, and a steady compass to many, especially to our family. Your unwavering devotion to God, your compassion for people, and your uncompromising commitment to truth and integrity have left indelible footprints across generations.
As your son, I remain eternally grateful for the values you instilled in me—reverence for God, respect for humanity, diligence in purpose, and courage in the face of life’s challenges. Your prayers, counsel, and quiet strength have shaped my journey and continue to inspire my calling every single day.
At 80, you are still a living testimony—strong in spirit, rich in wisdom, and surrounded by the love, honour, and respect you have earned over the years. I pray that the Almighty God continues to grant you sound health, abiding peace, renewed strength, and long life, and that your days ahead be filled with joy, fulfillment, and the tangible presence of His grace.
Happy 80th Birthday, Daddy.
Your legacy lives on, and your light continues to shine brightly.
With deepest love and honour,
Excellence Chukwudi Agunze
Your Son
