The Ijaw Publishers’ Forum (IPF) has officially endorsed the upcoming Chief Ebi Tebela Remembrance celebration, set to honor the late Olotu of Egbema Kingdom and renowned celebrity on September 23, 2024.
The endorsement followed a visit from the planning committee, led by Chairman Mr. Gideon Ebipade (aka Darling Gid), Secretary Comrade Gandi Wisdom, PRO Mr. Atigbi Lugard, Treasurer Mr. Abioka Karina (aka Mc Abioka), alongside other members, including Tebela’s children.
After a closed-door meeting at TM Hotel, Warri, Delta State, IPF President Comrade Ozobo Austin emphasized the need to support the remembrance celebration, citing Tebela’s extensive philanthropic contributions, particularly to the media sector.
“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 recognise 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.
With the IPF’s endorsement, the event is expected to attract widespread participation across the Ijaw community and beyond, serving as a powerful tribute to Tebela’s enduring legacy.
IPF Vice President Mr. Onduku Oyinbi, PRO Mr. Ezekiel Kagbala, Mr. Tams Okunbiri MMD, and member Stephen Asaba-ase were also present during the meeting.
