Virtue Meets Grace at 50: OSOPADEC Chairman’s Wife, Pastor Mrs. Bukola Omotola Poroye, Celebrated in Star-Studded Golden Jubilee

It was a glorious celebration of virtue, grace, and silent strength as dignitaries, community leaders, and well-wishers from across Ondo State gathered to honour Pastor Mrs. Bukola Omotola Poroye, wife of the Chairman of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC), Mr. Biyi Poroye, on the grand occasion of her 50th birthday anniversary.

Held in an atmosphere filled with warmth and reverence, the golden jubilee celebration radiated elegance and purpose. The event was graced by influential personalities, including members of the OSOPADEC board, such as Hon. Bayo Anifowose, representing Apoi 5 Ward, and Hon. Lawrence Tibiebi Steven, the serving Commissioner representing the five wards of Arogbo Ijaw ethnic nationality, Ese-odo LGA, Ondo state. Their presence underscored the high regard in which Pastor Mrs. Poroye is held, both as a spiritual figure and as a supportive partner in public service.

Described by many as a “rare embodiment of spirituality, leadership, and humility”, Pastor Mrs. Poroye’s 50th milestone transcended mere celebration—it was a profound recognition of her decades-long commitment to faith-based service, humanitarian outreach, and impactful influence, especially in the riverine communities of Ondo State.

“She’s the strength behind the man and a mother to many,” remarked Hon. Bayo Anifowose. “Her dedication to service, faith, and family is evident in the lives she has touched. We are not just celebrating her age; we are celebrating her influence.”

Echoing this sentiment, Hon. Lawrence Tibiebi Steven added: “Pastor Mrs. Poroye is a woman of purpose — one who carries her calling with quiet confidence. Her role in supporting the vision of OSOPADEC and standing firm in service to Arogbo 5 and Ese-Odo cannot be overstated.”

The celebrant was widely praised not only for her role as a supportive wife and spiritual leader but also as a cornerstone in community development and a source of wise counsel behind the scenes of governance. From organising community outreach programs to offering intercessory prayers for families and leaders alike, she continues to embody selflessness and spiritual depth.

The golden jubilee featured soul-lifting intercessions, heartfelt tributes, and a vibrant gathering of family, friends, and admirers—all unified in celebrating a woman whose life and service transcend titles. Golden hues, symbolic of royalty and honour, lit the venue as guests paid glowing homage to her legacy.

As she steps gracefully into a new chapter, Pastor Mrs. Bukola Omotola Poroye remains a shining example of what it means to live a life of quiet impact, unwavering faith, and resolute dignity.
