According to him, the First Lady’s initiatives have gone beyond charity to influencing positive social attitudes and policies that prioritise compassion, inclusion, and human dignity.
“At 56, Her Excellency stands as a moral compass whose quiet advocacy continues to shape conversations around care for the vulnerable, support for women, and protection of children. These values are critical to sustainable development,” he added.
The DESOPADEC Chairman also commended Deaconess Oborevwori for her stabilising role as a dependable support to Governor Oborevwori, noting that her humility, prayers, and counsel contribute significantly to the peaceful atmosphere that enables governance to thrive in the state.
