He reaffirmed the House’s commitment to work under the guidance of God, noting that the 55th Legislature remains dedicated to serve the people with integrity, humility, and a strong sense of national purpose.
“We are thankful for your prayers and encouragement. As leaders, we recognize our dependence on God’s wisdom, and we pledge to continue working in His guidance for the good of the people we represent.”
Members of the House also joined in appreciating the women for standing in prayer with the Legislature, and for promoting faith-based values, peace, and unity across the African continent.
AWJAN’s visit underscored the role of faith and spirituality in national leadership and governance, as well as the importance of moral support for institutions entrusted with shaping the future of the country.
