Ntufam Hon. Comrade John Nkom Etuk Showers Gifts On Orphans As He Marks His Birthday
The Executive Chairman of Etung Local Government Council, Ntufam Hon. Comrade John Nkom Etuk yesterday showered gifts and cash to the orphans at the Abundant Love Motherless Babies Home in Ikom as he marked his birthday.
According to him, his pledge to always identify with the less privileged is not unconnected with his promise to God in appreciation of His goodness upon his life.
While addressing the orphans, Hon. John noted that celebrating with the orphans has always brought him great blessing and joy as it gives him the satisfaction of impacting the lives of the less privileged.
He assured them that their biological parents may not be with them but all the people of goodwill are their parents, and will do everything to fill the vacuum created by the absence of actual parents.
“Each time i see you, i feel i have a lot of children. Let me assure you that even though your biological parents are not here with you, we are here as your parents and we will continue to share with you in our joy.
“You are precious gifts from God and we pray that God will raise leaders from among you who will lead after his heart. We are not special or different from you. We are all the same, i encourage you to stay focuse, pay attention to your studies and the discipline you are subjected to here as you will surely need it on your way to greatness”.
“There is no greater contributions as these in national development. Helping these special children to become useful to themselves and the society is a great contribution to the national development”; he enthused.
Some of the children who spoke said that they were excited to have him in their midst especially on his birthday.
“I feel very lucky and special that the Chairman has chosen to spend his birthday with us, Other big people would have gone to Calabar or other big places to celebrate their birthday but he has decided to be with us. We don’t have parents but today i feel as if it is my father that is celebrating his birthday” Moses said.
The Chairman was accompanied by the First Lady of Etung Local Government Council Mrs. Maryann Nkom Etuk and political appointees of council.
