Ijaw Publishers Forum [IPF] Endorses Ebi Tebela Remembrance Celebration.
The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) officially endorsed the upcoming Chief Ebi Tebela Remembrance celebration, honoring the late celebrity and Olotu of the Egbema Kingdom on September 23, 2024.
This approval comes after the planning committee led by Chairman Mr. Gideon Ebipade (also known as Darling Gid), Mr. Luis Ebi Tebela, Miss Sarah Shell, Mr. Meshach Ojijoh, Secretary Comrade Gandi Wisdom, PRO Mr. Atigbi Lugard, Treasurer Mr. Abioka Karina (also known as Mc Abioka), and Tebela’s kids—paid a visit.
After a private meeting at the TM hotel in Warri, Delta State, IPF President Comrade Ozobo Austin spoke to reporters and emphasized the value of backing the commemorative event. He emphasized Tebela’s charitable endeavors, which had a positive impact on thousands of people’s lives, including those of media professionals.
“Ebi Tebela was a selfless individual who made significant contributions to our community and beyond. His legacy deserves to be celebrated, and we urge all Ijaw leaders and stakeholders to join us in honoring his memory.”
“It is imperative to reward and recognize good people, because when you do that you indirectly or directly encourage the person to do more. Equally, you are encouraging people around to do good, knowing that it has reward”, he added.
The celebration of Ebi Tebela Remembrance was expected to be a moving homage to a remarkable person who had a profound impact on many people’s lives. With the IPF’s assistance, a large number of people from the Ijaw community and beyond are anticipated to attend and support the event.
Alongside Comrade Ozobo Austin, the president of the IPF, were members Mr. Tams Okunbiri MMD, PRO Mr. Ezekiel Kagbala, Vice President Mr. Onduku Oyinbi, and reporter Stephen Asaba-ase.
