The Chairman also used the occasion to offer prayers for mothers and women across Ikeja.

“On this special occasion, my wife, Mrs. Temitope Dauda, and I celebrate all mothers and women in Ikeja. We pray that God will continue to strengthen you, grant you good health and long life, and may you continually reap the fruits of your labour. Your sacrifices will never go unrewarded.”

 

Comrade Dauda encouraged residents to continue to honour, respect, and support mothers, noting that building stronger families remains fundamental to achieving sustainable development within the Ikeja community.

He concluded by wishing all mothers a joyful and fulfilling Mother’s Day celebration.
