“February 25th is a very special day for me as it marks my birth anniversary. Every year, it affords me the opportunity for introspection and to express gratitude to God for the gift of life.

“In as much as this is a thing of joy and many want it marked with pomp and pageantry, however, this year’s celebration comes with an exception because of the inevitability of hardship, suffering and anguish in the country.

“Of what use is a lavish celebration when Nigerians can barely feed? What is the essence of merriment with the elites when those who voted for me at the grassroots live in fear, hunger and toil?”

Lawmaker acknowledges sufferings of Nigerians

“On this note, therefore, I want to urge my friends, colleagues and associates to kindly channel their resources to their families, communities, constituents and the most vulnerable among us. Share my love with them. 

“Finally, the book of Ecclesiastes 7:3 says “Sorrow is better than laughter, because sober reflection is good for the heart.” I will be taking this time to pray for our dear nation, myself and other leaders. I urge you all to do likewise.”
