GLIMPSES INTO THE SCINTILLATING PERSONALITY OF AN EDO-ESAN PRINCE AND A GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANT UNDER LABOUR PARTY
Stephen Spender, an English poet of the 20th century, says: “I think continually of those who are truly great, the names of those who in their lives fight for life, who wear at their hearts the centre of life’s fire.”
Prince Andrew Lucky Eseigbe IGBERAESE, ChMC, MIEEE, FIMC, CMC, belongs to this category of Spender’s reflection on greatness.
