A Leader’s Legacy Lives On,
A leader’s legacy lives on, steadfast and true,
Captain Dr. Hosa Wells Okunbo, we honour you.
Sixty-eight years, rich in grace and might,
A bridge-builder of hope, a guiding light.
Your footsteps shaped the Niger Delta land,
Lifting youths and women with a father’s hand.
Communities found strength where you once stood,
Turning pain into purpose, hardship into good.
You were mentor and guardian, a voice so clear,
A compass of wisdom in moments of fear.
In boardrooms and villages, your vision shone,
Uniting divided paths, never alone.
You built bridges of love where walls once grew,
Connecting hearts, restoring dreams anew.
Though time has claimed your earthly frame,
Your works still burn with an undying flame.
Your name is spoken in gratitude and prayer,
In every life touched by your selfless care.
Gone from our sight, but never from view,
For your spirit lives on in all we do.
Happy posthumous birthday, great leader, we say,
Your legacy stands firm—it will never fade away.
