All for you, mothers

Anyone who was at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Accra last Sunday could be pardoned for assuming that only mothers matter in this world. Indeed, it was a Mothers’ Day buffet lunch organised to honour mothers.

Only mothers received gifs on entry and for the whole duration of the five hour programme, the virtues of mothers were extolled to the admiration of patrons.

Those who were present with their

mothers used the opportunity to express their appreciation and affection for their mothers.

The event kicked off with a live performance from the Immigration Service Band as they churned out lovely tunes which set the right mood for an expected delightful show.

It got more exciting when gospel singer, Joyce Blessing, hit the stage with Jewel Ackah to give the mothers a special Mothers’ Day treat with their performance.

Especially when Joyce Blessing  performed the popular Sweet Mother song, it   was a lovely sight to behold when guests and their mothers took to the dance floor. She said “mothers need to be celebrated and appreciated because they are the live wire that keep the society alive”.

The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Nana Oye Lithur, who was the special guest of the event, entreated mothers to make their health a priority.

Speaking on the theme, “A Healthy mother, A healthy Nation,  she said that most mothers in the quest to provide the best for their children ignore basic healthy lifestyles, an act that has caused the rise of many

illnesses among mothers.

She therefore appealed to the mothers to value their health as they do to their children in order to enjoy the fruits of their labour from their children.

A raffle organised as part of the show saw Madam Elizabeth Amegashie from the Volta Region crowned the Mother of the Day and won a weekend treat in Dubai as well as souvenirs from sponsors.

Other prizes went to other mothers including the oldest mother present who was 82 years old. 

The Mothers’ Day Buffet Lunch was a well-produced show and a wonderful moment. Samsung, DaViva, Photo Club Imaging,

Bel Aqua, Precious Minerals Marketing Company , Star Life Assurance, MVP and Pure Joy were sponsors for the event.
