One of the few things money cannot buy is friendship. A loyal friend will never forsake one when one runs into trouble. That kind of friendship appears to exist between advertising giant, Biodun Shobanjo, and former Chief of General Staff, General Oladipo Diya (rtd).
At the recent 70th birthday celebration of Otunba Josephine Onoimiuko Diya, wife of the retired general, Shobanjo recalled the good days they spent together.
Revealing that that he had been Diya’s close friend for 62 years, the Co-Founder of Insight Communications and Chief Executive of Troyka Group said they didn’t let anything come between them since childhood.
He noted: “I am privileged to say something about the celebrant, Josephine Diya. If you didn’t know, her husband, General Diya, and I, have been friends for 62 years. It is only natural that I should know the celebrant very well.”
“One thing that people don’t know about Gen. Diya and his family is that they are very religious.
