The Edochie family had reason to celebrate as veteran actor Pete Edochie’s first son, Leo, turned 55 on Saturday, April 26.
Pete Edochie marked the occasion by posting a picture of Leo along with a simple but loving message: “Happy birthday Son.” This post followed Pete’s reaction to an old quote of his that resurfaced in a viral video featuring Enioluwa Adeoluwa.
Meanwhile, Yul Edochie also celebrated his elder brother with a more detailed tribute, reflecting on the bond they share.
Sharing a personal memory, Yul wrote:
“In 1998, while I was filling my Jamb form, still indecisive about the University to attend, my big brother Leo, who was already based in Port Harcourt hustling, said to me, ‘put Uniport as your first choice, so you’ll come be with me in Port Harcourt and I’ll keep my eyes on you cos you’re too stubborn, I’ll take care of you’. He did just that. When it was time for me to leave home for school, he drove me to Port Harcourt, took me to Uniport, made sure I completed my registration, got me a hostel, made sure I was fully settled in before he left.”
He also recalled another moment that left a lasting impression:
“One night in 1999, we drove to his friend’s place to spend the night, we got into the compound and found out his friend had travelled without dropping his house key for us. I was wondering where we would sleep. My brother said to me, ‘life is tough, it won’t always be easy, but you must be ready to adapt to any situation you find yourself in, never panic. Take down your seat, we’ll sleep in the car. Don’t be afraid, I’m your elder brother, I’ll protect you. Nothing will happen to you. I’ll always be there for you’. We slept in the car till morning. My brother kept his word, from that day till today he has been there for me, through everything.”
Yul ended his tribute by expressing deep affection for his elder brother and offering prayers for continued blessings:
“I’ll love you forever, big brother,” he added.
Below are the birthday messages shared by Pete Edochie and Yul Edochie in honor of Leo’s special day.
