Ngina recalled riding on her father’s shoulders and the laughter he brought into their home. She also remembered how he waited up for her, even when he felt tired.
Beyond those moments, she credited him with showing her how patience and gentleness could accompany strength. Through his actions, she said, he taught her what love and a good man looked like.
Although she has grown up, Ngina said she would always remain her father’s little girl. She also called him her king, underscoring the affection at the centre of her message.
Her birthday wishes included a prayer for his continued health and happiness. In addition, she asked God to reward him for sacrifices he never discussed and tears he concealed so his family could smile.
To close the tribute, Ngina said words could not fully express her love for her father. She then wished him a happy birthday.

Meanwhile, political allies joined the birthday celebrations with messages recognising the former president’s life and public service.
