Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo state, has described John
Oyegun, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as a
courageous leader.
In a statement to commemorate Oyegun’s 81st birthday,
Obaseki said the former APC national chairman has lived a life worthy of
emulation.
He said Oyegun, a former governor of Edo, served the state
meritoriously and had an outstanding career as a civil servant, a public
servant and a politician.
“I am elated to celebrate with Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, a
quintessential gentleman, who continues to lead an enviable life that is worthy
of emulation by all and sundry,” Obaseki said in a statement which Crusoe
Osagie, his spokesman, issued on his behalf.
“As a Permanent Secretary in the Federal Civil Service, he
was a solid administrator, pursuing germane reforms to retool Nigeria’s civil
service for greatness.
“When he served as governor, he brought panache and finesse
to governance, ensuring that a solid foundation was laid for the development of
the state.
“As we celebrate Chief Odigie-Oyegun today, it must be
reiterated that he remains a key figure in efforts to transform Edo State and
position her for greatness. He has done his bit and continues to work towards
engendering sustainable development and prosperity for Edo people in particular
and Nigeria in general.
