Abuja, Nigeria - June 15, 2025
Hon. Obi Aguocha, Member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency, has extended warm Father’s Day greetings to all fathers across Abia State and Nigeria at large, recognizing their critical role in shaping families, communities, and the nation.
In a heartfelt message released on Sunday to mark Father’s Day, Hon. Aguocha described fatherhood as a divine responsibility and a noble calling that requires strength, love, discipline, and unwavering dedication. He noted that while the duties of a father may often go uncelebrated, their impact is immeasurable and foundational.
“Fathers are pillars of strength, wisdom, and moral guidance,” Hon. Aguocha said.
“Today, I salute every man who has embraced the call of fatherhood with honor and integrity, your sacrifices are not in vain.”
He highlighted the importance of father figures in mentoring the younger generation, building strong homes, and promoting the values of responsibility, honesty, and hard work. He added that responsible fathers help nurture stable societies, echoing the biblical instruction in Proverbs 22:6, which says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Hon. Aguocha also used the opportunity to call on government and community leaders to implement more family-oriented policies and to empower men economically and psychologically to fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
“We must support Nigerian fathers with the right environment to thrive; through better jobs, access to education for their children, healthcare, and security,” he stated. “Strengthening families is key to building a stronger nation.”
He concluded his message by reflecting on his personal journey as a father and leader, expressing gratitude to God and pledging to continue working for a constituency where every father can provide, protect, and lead with dignity.
