“I receive this honour with humility, knowing that a life of service is not measured by the recognition one receives, but by the lives one is privileged to touch and the difference one is able to make,” he stated.
The medical doctor and 2027 ADC Senatorial Candidate for Delta South Senatorial District said the award does not belong to him alone, but to his colleagues, family, friends, and communities who have supported his journey.

He dedicated the award to “everyone who believes in the possibility of a better society and who continues to work, in whatever capacity, for the good of humanity.”
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Dr. Orette in recognition of his outstanding contributions to healthcare delivery and community development over the years.
