Osunbor hails unity at Obadan’s golden jubilee celebration

A former governor of Edo State, Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, has commended the enduring love and unity among the old students of Anglican Grammar School, Ujolen, Edo State, urging them to remain steadfastly united.

Professor Osunbor gave the commendation during the 50th wedding anniversary of the former deputy governor of Edo State, Dr Peter Obadan and his wife, Gloria Obadan, held recently in Benin City.

Osunbor, who chaired the event attended by eminent Edo sons and daughters, described Rev. Obadan as hardworking man whose success was rooted in his unwavering service to God.

Recalling their school days, the former governor noted that they first met at Ujolen Grammar School between 1964 and 1968, adding that the celebrant was humble, prayerful and academically brilliant.

“I was not surprised when Dr Obadan became deputy governor under Chief John Odigie-Oyegun. Till today, he remains hardworking and respectful to both the young and old,” Osunbor remarked, also commending his wife for her steadfastness.

The golden jubilee celebration attracted dignitaries, including former deputy governors, Mike Ogiadohime and Dr Pius Egberamen Odubu, as well as former Secretary to the Edo State Government and elder statesman, Sir Clement Alile.
