One of the most decorated Africans in modern history, as exemplified by 34 honorary doctoral degrees he has received from various local and foreign universities, Chief Anyaoku’s tenure as the Commonwealth chief executive from 1990 to 2000 is spoken about throughout the world in nostalgic terms.

The organisation, for example, became a global vehicle for the mobilisation of democratic values like holding periodic free and fair elections but also upholding the dignity of the human person. He was thus easily reelected at the summit in Cyprus in April, 1995.

Despite his towering international and national achievements, Chief Anyaoku has his two feet planted in Anambra’s soil.

The former Commonwealth Secretary General has demonstrated great love for his Obosi community, too, inspiring other eminently successful individuals to identify with theirs. He always spends the Christmas holidays in his Obosi town, and his presence frequently attracts local and international statesmen to the community.

As Governor Willie Obiano enthused during his call on the former Commonwealth chief executive to wish him a rewarding birthday, “Much as your birthday will be marked, rather than celebrated in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Anambra people will not fail to tell the world how you have been a great blessing to them.”
