Delegates from the seven continents of the world have started arriving Lagos for the 95th anniversary of the Okpe Union.

The statement entitled call for unity and support by all well-meaning Okpe nationals and friends of the Okpe Nation as Okpe Union clocks 95, announced the date of elections into all the offices of the Okpe Union National Executive Council.

“The union holds elections into all the offices of the National Executive Council on the 15th of May, 2025 at its registered office and birthplace, 65 Moshalashi Street, Obalende.”

The statement issued in Lagos emphasized nationalistic feeling among the people, continuous prayers and support.

“The national leadership of the Okpe Union headed by Prof. Igho Natufe again calls for the sustenance of the solidarity of all Okpe nationals and members of various branches of the Okpe Union.”

The statement enjoined all who cannot physically be present at the Okpe House, Lagos, to employ modern communication technologies to follow the national elections and Founders’ Day activities on the 15th and 16th of May, 2025 respectively, virtually.

At 95, this milestone offers us the unique opportunity to acknowledge the tireless effort of our founders while celebrating the achievements of the union.”
