Ms. Ike emphasized the invaluable contributions of mothers to families and the nation, urging humanity to honor their work and sacrifices made in championing inclusivity and nurturing the home front.

According to the gender rights activist, “motherhood is a journey that requires balancing multiple responsibilities and challenges. Despite these challenges, mothers are relentless in their pursuit of creating inclusive environments and fostering harmony within their families.

“The resilience and strength of mothers, both within the confines of their homes and in the broader context of nation-building, should be acknowledged and celebrated,” she said

In addition, Ike charged mothers with the task of prioritizing the well-being of their families, emphasizing the importance of cultivating lovely relationships with their husbands and nurturing environments for the children to thrive, and shape the future.

“Let us cherish and support the mothers in our lives, recognizing their resilience and unwavering love. Mothers are the cornerstone of our families and the bedrock of our nation.

“The House of Representatives Press Corps extends its warmest wishes to all mothers on this special day, calling on us all to celebrate the enduring spirit of motherhood and work towards building a more inclusive and compassionate world for future generations,” added Ms. Ike.
