As the world marks this year’s Father’s Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings and profound appreciation to all fathers the unsung heroes whose sacrifices, strength, and quiet leadership continue to hold the fabric of our society together.

Fathers are more than figures of authority. They are mentors, protectors, builders of values, and unwavering sources of strength. Their roles, often carried out silently, shape the lives of their children and the future of their communities.

Today, I pay special tribute to my own father,a man I proudly call the pillar of our family. His unwavering principles, selfless dedication, and wisdom have been a guiding light in my journey through life and leadership. His legacy remains a constant reminder of the power of discipline, humility, and service.

On this special occasion, I encourage everyone to celebrate the fathers and father figures in their lives not just with words, but with gratitude, respect, and honor.

To all fathers across the nation, I salute you. Happy Father’s Day.
