For most, May 27 is simply another date on the calendar. But for Comrade (Dr.) Pastor Humble Obinna Power — trade unionist, anointed minister of the Gospel, songwriter, author, and a distinguished leader in Nigeria’s petroleum oil and gas workers’ union — it is a day of profound meaning.
It marks the dawn of his earthly journey, a day he honors unfailingly. This year, the celebration carries even greater weight as Dr. Obinna Power reaches the golden age of 50.
For a man of his caliber and stature unveiling memoirs would hardly surprise anyone. His life story — marked by resilience, ingenuity, and a steady rise in the petroleum industry — would inspire countless readers, offering lessons for entrepreneurs and everyday people determined to reshape their destinies. His journey is a testament to destiny fulfilled.
Rising to become one of the union’s most influential voices, he has demonstrated extraordinary energy and vision. Tirelessly, he has crafted policies, mobilized resources, and engaged industry leaders and government stakeholders to advance the welfare of oil and gas workers.
His commitment to human development and capacity building remains phenomenal. Fearless, dogged, and unrelenting, he embodies the spirit of a true achiever.
Beyond professional accomplishments, Dr. Obinna Power is a devoted family man. Blessed with a loving wife, Nurse Juliet Obinna Power, and two wonderful children, Prevail and Perez, he is known for nurturing strong family bonds, creating cherished memories, and living by sound Christian virtues.
He currently serves as Resident Pastor at Gateway International Church, Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria.
On this milestone birthday, we celebrate not only his life but also his unwavering dedication to workers’ rights and fairness. His selflessness, resilience, and commitment continue to inspire all who cross his path.
May this new chapter bring well-deserved rest, renewed strength, and even greater victories in the causes he champions.
Happy 50th Birthday, Comrade Dr. Pastor Humble Obinna Power — congratulations on reaching this golden age!
