…Imo APC Chairman sends mother’s day message to Catholic Mother’s in the State.

As we gather today in reverence and celebration of Mothers’ Day, I am deeply moved by the profound impact that mothers have on our lives, our families, and our society at large. As a devout Catholic and the State Chairman of the APC in Imo State, I am compelled to honor and recognize the invaluable contributions of our mothers, who serve as the bedrock of morality, stability, and wisdom within our homes and communities.

Our mothers are not merely caregivers; they are the very essence of strength, compassion, and resilience. They serve as home stabilizers, guiding lights, and the voices of immeasurable wisdom in our lives. Today, I stand in solidarity with millions of Catholics across the world to express gratitude for the unwavering love and sacrifices of our mothers.

In light of the challenges facing our society, it is imperative that our mothers, seize this day as an opportunity for deep reflection and action. Let them ponder on the dwindling fate of moral virtues within our family units and society at large. As co-opinion moulders, it is their duty to instill in our children and wards the importance of respecting constituted authority, particularly in supporting the administration of Dist. Sen Hope Uzodimma, in it’s drive to make every youth in the state productive.

I urge all mothers to prioritize the inculcation of right family values into the hearts and minds of their children. By nurturing them with love, discipline, and respect, we empower them to become responsible citizens and productive members of the society.

On this special day, let us lift our hearts in prayer for our beloved mothers. May God continue to bless them abundantly and grant eternal repose to those who are no longer with us. May their families find solace in cherished memories and the enduring legacy of love they have left behind. And may we, as a community, have the fortitude to honor their legacy and strive for a better tomorrow.

Let us remember that a single day is not sufficient to fully honor the immeasurable contributions of our mothers. Let us cherish and celebrate them not only today but every day, recognizing their unparalleled role in shaping the fabric of our society. Happy Mothers’ Day to all the incredible Catholic mothers of Imo State!

Warm regards,

Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD,KSJI
State Chairman, APC, Imo State

The reported killing of an Igbo trader in Ogun State has attracted condemnation from the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide.

The group has therefore asked the Ogun State Government to ensure justice for the victim’s family.

It was alleged that the victim, a woman, Blessing Eze, was killed at Ifo Market, in Ogun State by a gang.

The armed group, said to be parading as government agents, were said to have stabbed Blessing on the chest, resulting in her death.

Sources said her offence was refusing to pay a N1,500 religious levy imposed on the traders at the market.

Reacting, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike asked the Ogun State Government to provide clear details on what led to the death of the Igbo woman.

“We need to know why she was killed; who are those behind her gruesome murder?

“What has the government done to get justice for her? Have the perpetrators been arrested?

“The Ogun State government has to respond appropriately. Time has gone when Ndigbo are continuously treated as slaves in their own country.

“This gruesome murder of an innocent Igbo trader would not be condoned; we must fight until she gets justice,” Okwu vowed.

He also called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“We are urgently appealing to the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun to take over the investigation of the matter.

“This is the only way to guarantee justice for the victim’s family,” Okwu stated.
