Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on February 13, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Rupiah Banda! Another year wiser, and still the only president who could tackle corruption with a smile brighter than Zambia's copper mines. Your tireless efforts to clean up politics made headlines—and probably gave corrupt officials nightmares!

From steering Zambia through economic challenges to championing transparency, your legacy shines brighter each year. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and fewer political headaches than you had in office.

Here's wishing you endless happiness and plenty of cake—because after battling corruption so fiercely, you've definitely earned an extra slice or two! Cheers to many more years ahead!
