Oyegun at 80: A rare, uncommon gift to Nigeria

THE Governor of Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu, has described the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, as an enigmatic leader with inviolably unassailable leadership qualities whose life is a study to all.

Akeredolu stated this in a congratulatory message signed by his Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity, Mr Ojo Oyewamide, as the former governor of Edo State, who turned 80 on Monday.

According to Akeredolu, “History preserves the memories of men and women of exemplary courage and impeccable character just as a great achiever is not considered important, solely on the basis of material acquisition.

“Rather the immeasurable virtues and the strong contents of character as embedded in Oyegun, are what announce the real achiever.

“Oyegun’s has been a life of selfless, dedicated and uncompromising service to humanity.”

“Therefore, as Chief John Odigie-Oyegun attains the age of 80 years on earth, I join numerous other Nigerians to celebrate this enigma of note.”

Relishing that Oyegun still bubbles with good health, radiating the rare gift of contentment, which
Akeredolu described as a rare quality and an uncommon gift to Nigeria.
