Nna!
We

a
man
of
the
people.
Chief
Benjamin
Eke,
the

continues.
From
the
heart
of
Ahoada
East,
a
story
is
told
Of
a
man
with
a
vision,
worth
more
than
gold
Chief
Barr.
Hon.
Benjamin
Israel
Eke,
the
name
we
know
Watching
the
seeds
of
his
wisdom
begin
to
grow
You
served
with
honor,
you
served
with
pride
With
the
spirit
of
Ekpeye,
standing
by
your
side
The
roads
you
built,
the
lives
you
touched
For
the
people
of
the

Chief
Benjamin,

They
say
that
leadership
is
a
heavy
crown
But
you
walked
the
path
without
a
single
frown
Legal
mind
sharpened,
ready
for
the
fight
Guiding
the
council
through
the
darkest
night
Isreal
Eke,
your
name
rings
out
in
the
hall
You
stood
for
the
weak,
you
answered
the
call
It
is
not
just
the
title,
it
is
the
heart
within
That
makes
the
journey
of
a
hero
begin.
Oh
Chief
Benjamin,
the
pride
of
the
land
Building
the
future
with
a
steady
hand
Echi
Ekpeye
logbo,
the
leader
so
true
We
honor
the
work
that
was
done
by
you
Chai!

of
the

Lessons
in
service,
lessons
in
grace
Leaving
a
footprint
all
over
the
place
Omo!
The
hustle
was
real,
the
vision
was
clear
Removing
the
shadows,
calming
every
fear
This
is
the
season
to
celebrate
the
sage
Turning
the
chapter,
writing
a
new
page.
So

the
drums
beat,
let
the
udu

For
a
man
whose
integrity
is
truly
profound
Former
Chairman,
the
legacy
is
secure
Your
motivation
is
something
that
will
endure
Keep
standing
tall,
keep
showing
the
way
For
the
young
ones
coming,
for
the
new
day
Chief
Benjamin
Eke,
we
salute
your
name
In
the
history
books,
you
have
earned
your
fame.
