The patriarch of the House of Igbinedion and Esama of Benin Kingdom, Sir (Chief) Gabriel Igbinedion, is in a joyous mood at the moment and the reason behind this very mood is that the high society, movers and shakers of land are getting ready to celebrate with the influential man as he turns 80years in a matter of days.
Even, while the event is still a few days away, many who are going to be part of the celebration and the public at large are keenly waiting to see how Igbinedion is going to celebrate his birthday because the man has made it known over the years that he does not do his celebration in half measure but in full scale.
At the moment, speculation of different forms are flying around as regards the shape the event is going to take but information at our disposal reveals that the 80th birthday of Esama is going to be one month long.
Prior to the event, the people of Benin City have started to feel the impact of the birthday as free medical care is ongoing, and 3,000 people are billed to benefit from the programme. In the same vein, the successful businessman has rededicated his life to God. Influential and wealthy Esama, made the re-dedication some days back at God’s Historic Chapel, which is planted at his residence in Benin City. At the service that took place very early in the morning, Esama, who asked people to bring to his notice whenever he goes wrong promised to build a befitting structure for Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria that is presently headed by Reverend Felix Omobude.
