The House of Esama of Benin Kingdom, Sir Chief Dr. Gabriel Igbinedion has poured encomiums on a pan Benin socio-cultural group, Edowauoya (advancement of Benin people).
The appreciation message was to show gratitude to the group for the advancement of Benin cause.
In the message signed by Wellington Olumeko on behalf of the House of Igbinedion said the Esama is appreciative of the group for recognizing his contributions, saying the encomium showered on the Benin high chief was an inspiration to do more for the Edo nation, Nigeria and humanity in general.
The message noted that Esama is happy, especially with the section that said “we would pledge our commitment to serve future generations as you have served ours”, noting it was particularly pleasing the group has vowed to serve humanity through its activities.
.
According to the letter, Esama believes that success without a successor is a failure, therefore the pledge to serve as he has served has elevated his spirit as he now knows that his good legacy will continue even after this life.
The Esama, however, prayed almighty God to provide for the group the zeal to serve the people, particularly, the Benin kingdom.
