| Jonathan and Igbinedion |
President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has commended Chief Gabriel
Igbinedion’s life of uncommon accomplishments.
In a congratulatory letter addressed to the Esama of Benin Kingdom
on the occasion of his 80th birthday anniversary, tomorrow,
President Jonathan, in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Reuben Abati and sent to SHOWBIZPLUSng, also praised his
trail-blazing achievements in several fields of human endeavour.
“Come the 11th of September 2014, you will be marking
your landmark 80th birthday anniversary of a life of uncommon
accomplishments and enduring fulfillment.
“In a classic epitomization of the triumph of the will over the
temporal limitations of circumstance of birth, you defied all odds and emerged
from very humble beginnings to become not just a captain of industry of note
beyond the shores of our nation, but also one of Nigeria’s most readily
recognizable names.
“Through it all, you have not only remained faithful to the rich
cultural heritage of the revered Benin Kingdom as one of the most senior Chiefs
in the land, but you have also played a significant role in Nigeria’s
democratic developmental process. A trailblazer in every enterprise you have ventured
into, yours is indeed, a life truly worthy of celebration,” the President wrote.
Wishing Chief Igbinedion very happy 80th birthday
celebrations on behalf of the Government and people of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, President Jonathan prayed that Almighty God will continue to guide the
Esama and keep him in good health.
