The Founder of United Nigeria Airlines and leading APC Governorship hopeful for Anambra 2025, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, OFR, has extended heartfelt felicitations to mothers, particularly Catholic women, on the occasion of Mothering Sunday—Laetare Sunday.

This special day serves as a moment to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and to reflect on the invaluable role of mothers in the Church, families, and society at large.

In a statement released by his media office in Awka, Prof. Okonkwo described mothers as the bedrock of society, whose leadership, selflessness, and devotion continue to shape the world in profound ways.

“Motherhood is a divine and sacred calling. The sacrifices of mothers, their boundless love, and their tireless dedication to nurturing future generations are unmatched. Their role in shaping the moral fabric of society cannot be overstated,” he emphasized.

Prof. Okonkwo reaffirmed his commitment to the development of Anambra State, pledging that his leadership would prioritize the inclusion, empowerment, and recognition of women. He emphasized that the contributions of mothers—through their hard work, resilience, and dedication—deserve not only appreciation but also active support and policies that enhance their well-being and opportunities.

As Anambra continues to strive for progress, Prof. Okonkwo assures mothers that his vision for the state is one that will uplift, empower, and celebrate their indispensable role in fostering a thriving and united society.
