Society heavyweights and top politicians flocked to the home of the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion, to celebrate with him on the occasion of his 79th birthday last Tuesday. It was an exclusive low-profile bash for the father of former Edo State Governor, Chief Lucky Igbinedion.
The Esama of Benin is undoubtedly one of the wealthiest Nigerians, the status he has enjoyed for more than four decades with properties in Nigeria and abroad.
Friends, family members and those he has assisted in one way or the other are already looking forward to his 80th birthday.
