He also lauded the former AGF for his spirit of forgiving which led him to forgive all the people that betrayed him despite the supports and numerous federal appointments he secured for them.
Akperashi wrote: “Congratulations on your new age. You got an opportunity in your service life at the National level and impacted lives in a very remarkable and outstanding dimension.
“You gave numerous employments to your kin and kith thereby empowering them economically and socially.
The life-lines you provided such people keep speaking for you.
“One outstanding attribute of yours is, you have a forgiving spirit. During your service life especially as minister of the federal republic of Nigeria, you brought your very own brothers very closer to you.
“Some you took very personal, confided in them wholeheartedly and entrusted them with your wealth and resources turned around not only to brazenly betray you but awfully surreptitiously blackmailed you.
“You forgave them after some entreaties but ironically, such brothers of yours today, in our very society, under our very eyes are already paupers and parasites of sorts trying to earn a living while you are soaring higher and higher every other day. You have indeed always equally proved that BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER!
“As you turn a new page of life today, I pray God to avail you with His special blessings,grace and unending favor.
Have a joyous blast with all bountiful tidings”
