Highlighting civic responsibility, Deaconess Oborevwori urged the royal mothers to ensure that women in their communities register for Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs), stressing that political participation is crucial for empowering women’s voices.
She also paid tribute to three esteemed Queens who passed away during the year: Her Royal Majesty, Queen Anthonia Kikachukwu of Ubulu Unor Kingdom, Her Royal Majesty, Queen Rhoda Owhe of Umeh Kingdom, and Her Royal Majesty, Queen Uzezi Ogeh of Ase Kingdom. She offered condolences to their families and kingdoms, calling for a minute of silence in their honor.
In her closing remarks, Our Founder encouraged unity among the royal mothers, urging them to maintain prayer routines, support one another, and nurture strong relationships. She reminded them that her office remains open and expressed hope for continued collaboration in future events.
“I pray that your strength will not fail, your reign will be peaceful, and the Lord prospers the work of your hands,” she added, wishing the royal mothers safe journeys home, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
At the end of the interactive session, Her Royal Majesty, Queen Ofejiro Ogbogbo, wife of the traditional ruler of Ozoro Kingdom, delivered a closing remark on behalf of the Queens. She described the banquet as a valuable opportunity for royal mothers to leave their domains and socially connect at the seat of state government. Queen Ogbogbo assured Our Founder of their continued support for the administration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
This event highlighted our ongoing commitment to community engagement, women’s empowerment, and the fostering of peaceful and progressive leadership across Delta State.
