Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu/

The Alake of Egbaland, Oba (Dr.) Michael Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo shone like a million stars yesterday in Houston, Texas, where he was hosted by his subjects, the Egba men and women in the diaspora.

The Alake urged the Egba people in Canada and the United States of America to always support each other.

Opening the 8th Biennial National Convention of the Egba National Association, USA and Canada, with the theme Bridging and Encouraging the Next Generation, Alake urged the Egba people never to forget their origin.

He appreciated the gaily dressed Egba men and women for their various contributions to the development of their hometown, Abeokuta, as he urged them to continue the good work and always remember that in whatever they do, they must help one another as fingers are not equal.

Oba Gbadebo said those struggling among them must be assisted to make headway, bearing in mind that the success of one is the success of all. He also urged them to continue to write the story of Egbaland in gold through their good deeds at home and abroad.

The Alake attended the event with prominent chiefs of the historical town.

The convention was jointly hosted by the Lisabi Elites Association of Houston and the Egba Progressive Association of Houston.
