Pope Francis has imparted Apostolic Blessings on Dr. Edwin Banseka Tatah and his mother, Venyena Scholastica Tatah. The Blessing messages from the leader of the Roman Catholic Church were handed to both mother and son on Saturday 11 November 2023 during a thanksgiving birthday Mass organized for them at the ST. Michael's Catholic Church in Futru-Nkwen.
"The Holy Father Francis cordially imparts the requested Apostolic Blessing to Edwin Banseka Tatah on the occasion of his 50th Birthday and through the intercession of the Virgin Mary invokes an abundance of Divine Graces." Dr. Ban's message read with that of the mother carrying her name.
While Dr. Edwin Banseka celebrated his Golden Age (50), his mother was celebrating her 85th birthday. An elaborate all-white party to celebrate both held at the Blue Pearl Hotel Plaza where family, friends, groups and other well-wishers showered the celebrants with goodwill messages.
Dr. Edwin Banseka has been leader of Nso Bahti, a gathering of his fellow Nso
people and has also been decorated as Mformi Woo Bahti in recognition for his
mobilization and uniting capacity amongst his people.
