On behalf of my wife and family, I extend my heartfelt felicitations to all who embody the essence of womanhood in our dear state on this special occasion of Mother’s Day. I salute your unwavering love, care, strength, diligence, and the indispensable role you play in shaping our families and society.
Mother’s Day is a time to honor and appreciate the remarkable contributions of mothers and mother figures. A mother’s love is the foundation of resilience, providing the strength needed to navigate life’s challenges. It is this resilience that fosters unity, peace, and progress in our homes and communities. Therefore, we must come together to celebrate and uplift our mothers, recognizing the sacrifices they make every day.
My administration has made significant efforts to empower women, ensuring they have the necessary support and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to our shared vision of a united, peaceful, and prosperous Rivers State where no one is left behind. We understand that when women are empowered, families thrive, and societies flourish.
At a time when our world faces numerous challenges, I urge our mothers to continue instilling discipline, integrity, and strong moral values in their children. The home remains the foundation of society, and it is through the nurturing guidance of mothers that we can build a better future.
As we celebrate this special day, I reaffirm my administration’s commitment to advancing gender equality, ensuring that women have equal opportunities to contribute to the growth and development of our dear state. May God bless all the women and mothers of Rivers State and beyond, rewarding them abundantly for their dedication, love, and sacrifices in raising responsible and worthy children—the future of our great state and their contributions to building a better society.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Signed,
His Excellency,
Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS
