Members of the St Patrick’s College Asaba Old Boys Association of Nigeria (SPCOBA) have congratulated the Asagba-elect, Prof Epiphany Azinge on his election to ascend the revered throne of the Asaba kingdom.
SPCOBA in a congratulatory letter to the new monarch, dated August 19 and jointly signed by its National President, Barr Anthony Odiadi and National Secretary, Col Tajudeen Bakare (rtd), expressed delight at the selection of Prof Azinge, who is also an old boy of the college, as the new Asagba.
The association described the election of the erudite Professor of Law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), as “a hard fought, well determined process,” adding that “the Kingmakers found the Noble Patrician eminently qualified to ascend the throne of leadership of the town in this modern era.”
The SPCOBA therefore expressed confidence in Azinge’s ability to steer the ship of the ancient kingdom successfully throughout his tenure as the monarch.
“Noble Patricians worldwide rejoice with Obi (Prof) Epiphany Azinge and trust that he will
without doubt carry forth to the throne the nobility, wisdom and drive for success which are the hallmarks of the high values imbued in us by our great Alma mater – St Patrick’s College, Asaba, the Varsity on the Niger,” the statement added.
The full text of the SPCOBA statement reads as follows:
