It was a day of immense joy and gratitude to God Almighty as family members, friends, associates, the Clergy, and church members converged on the Victory Life Bible Church Auditorium in Abeokuta as the wife of the Setman, Apostle Lawrence Achudume, Reverend (Mrs) Fola Achudume turned 55 on Wednesday.
Speaking at the event, the wife of former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Mrs Bola Obasanjo observed that the warm ambience and the joy on the faces of the attendees at the Auditorium attest to the fact that the Celebrant is well loved and held in high esteem.
According to her, Reverend (Mrs) Achudume has not only carved a niche for herself in christendom, but has also done a lot in the areas of women empowerment and advocacy.
Mrs Obasanjo who described the Birthday Girl as a perfect match and pillar of support to her husband urged the womenfolk to always be submissive, as well as respect, honour and be there for their husbands and children at all times.
The Wife Of the former President advised people, especially women not to be envious of one another but rather see ways they can lift others.
She explained that it is only when people take time to know the purpose of creation that they can appreciate the essence of life and human existence.
Mrs Obasanjo pointed out that when an individual relies on God especially during trying times, the impossible becomes possible, imploring people to be patient and focused wherever they find themselves.
The better half of the former President added that the wife is a reflection of her husband, saying that women who get married to famous men must have it at the back of their minds that the spotlight is always on their husbands.
The Celebrant, Reverend Mrs Achudume, in a remark, thanked everyone for coming, letting out that she decided to use the occasion of her 55th birthday to offer prayers and praises to God for his grace and benevolence.
Apostle Lawrence Achudume, while extolling the virtues of his wife, declared that he could not have wished for anyone better and thanked everyone for coming.
Clerics and their spouses thereafter took turns to pray for the Celebrant, urging her to continue in her good deeds and service to humanity.
A frontline Gospel artiste, Dare Justified was on hand to dish out soul lifting renditions as attendees danced heartily to the melodious tunes, while the highpoint was the cutting of the Birthday cake #
