, January 18, the government and people of Anambra State celebrate this global citizen who thinks home. He is, in every sense, exemplary.
One of the most respected voices across the globe, Chief Anyaoku has served as the president of the Worldwide Foundation and on the board of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. A professorial chair of international studies has long been established in his honour at the University of London.
As the great Chinua Achebe described these Barbarians at the door of civilisation, the renegades were determined to “turn my homeland of Anambra State into a bankrupt and lawless fiefdom.” 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 Chief Anyaoku, who proudly holds the traditional title of Adazie Obosi, marks the 89th birthday, the people and government of Anambra State thank God for his life and wish many more years of good health, wisdom and service to God and humankind. Anambra State governor-elect, Chukwuma Soludo, has also congratulated Chief Anyaoku on his 89th birthday.
