The Iluelogbo Grammar School Old Students Association (IGSOSA) has elected Engr—Adidi David Owhairuoro as its new president. The keenly contested election, held over the weekend through an online voting process, concluded with Owhairuoro emerging as the president-elect.

A native of Aviara in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, Engr. Owhairuoro expressed gratitude to members of the association and fellow contestants during his acceptance speech.

“I heartily appreciate all members for choosing me as the president-elect to lead this great IGSOSA personalities,” he said. “I have no words to express this heartfelt love as you have displayed. I accept my election to this exalted office and I am honoured beyond measure.”

Describing his victory as a collective achievement and a call to serve, he pledged to elevate the association’s legacy and contribute meaningfully to its development.

“The victory and the seat is for all of us and a call to serve our beloved Iluelogbo Grammar School and IGSOSA, which I term as giving back to our foundation,” he said.

He acknowledged the contributions of past leaders, particularly Apostle Ogbokor, and extended a hand of fellowship to other candidates.
