As part of activities marking this year's Mothering Sunday, women from both the Catholic and Anglican denominations in Anambra North have received 25,000 pieces of six yards of Catholic Women Organisation uniforms and 25,000 Anglican Women Mary Sumner uniforms, donated by Senator Dr. Tony Nwoye.

The beneficiaries included members of the Catholic Women Organisation (CWO) from Onitsha Archdiocese and Aguleri Diocese, as well as Anglican women from four dioceses namely, Diocese on the Niger, Ogbaru Diocese, Niger West Diocese, and Niger East Diocese.

While handing over the uniforms, Senator Nwoye said he decided to gift the uniforms to Catholic and Anglican mothers because they are special and important members of the society, making a significant difference.

According to him, the influence of a mother on her children is immeasurable, adding that he was inspired to donate the uniforms after an elderly CWO member approached him for help.

"I was unaware of the importance of these uniforms to mothers. The elderly woman's appeal moved me, and I decided to procure them.

Mothers are known to be agents of truth. Today, mothers are afraid to speak out against poor leadership, and society is suffering. We need to rediscover the courage to effect real change", Senator Nwoye said.

He advised that the uniforms should not be sold to any Christian mother within the senatorial district. The Senator also urged mothers to speak out against poor leadership and societal ills.

The Director of CWO, Onitsha Archdiocese, Mrs. Ngozi Nwanosike, and other representatives thanked Senator Nwoye for his generosity.

Senator Nwoye also donated a Toyota Corolla car to Chief Ossy Chinwuba, a respected community leader and former House of Assembly member, in appreciation for his steadfastness and to support his movement within the senatorial zone.
