Today, the 12th of July, I celebrate not just a man, but my man — my friend, my rock, my covering, and the love of my life — Hon. Pastor Jude Chukwunwike, Executive Chairman of Aniocha South.
My Love, on this special day, I thank God for the day our paths crossed. You have been nothing short of a blessing to me, to our family, and to the many lives you touch daily. Loving you and living life with you has been the most beautiful journey — one filled with warmth, laughter, growth, shared dreams, and unwavering companionship.
Executive Chairman of Aniocha South Local Government.
Thank you for being such a wonderful partner — kind, patient, wise, and incredibly understanding. You lead with gentleness, you listen with your heart, and you love without reservation. Our home is a haven today because of the peace and joy you bring into it every day.
I watch you serve with so much grace — first, as a husband and father, and then, as a servant of God and the people. The strength of your convictions, your unshakable faith in God, your passion for humanity, and your humility even in high places continue to inspire me deeply. You wear the weight of leadership with integrity, yet never fail to come home and wear the crown of love and affection with pride.
You’ve not only made marriage beautiful, you’ve made it purposeful. Thank you for being the prayer warrior I can lean on, the counselor I can confide in, and the man who constantly reminds me that love is not just a feeling — it is a decision made daily in honor, sacrifice, and trust.
As your wife, I see the battles you fight in silence, the burdens you carry with grace, and the victories you celebrate not for yourself, but for others. Aniocha South is blessed to have you, but I am immeasurably more blessed to walk this journey of life with you.
Today, I celebrate you, my Love, for all that you are — and all that you continue to be. May God continue to increase you in wisdom, strength, and peace. May this new year bring you deeper joy, clearer vision, and the reward of the many seeds you have sown in the lives of others.
Happy Birthday, My Love. I cherish you forever.
With all my heart,
Mrs. Ella Jude Chukwunwike
First Lady, Aniocha South LGA
