Pastor
Peters Osawaru Omoragbon, Executive President/CEO Nurses
Across the Borders International and President Diaspora Nurses Association of
Nigerian, has called on Pastor (Mrs) Enunwaonye Chimdi Hossanna to run for a political
office.
Omoragbon who
is Convener, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change HEALTHNGOs,
Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association-United Kingdom, and also Fellow Open Society
Institute-Budapest made the appeal in his Goodwill message at the Sent-forth
ceremony of Pastor Enunwaonye on Monday August 1, 2022 at the HMA Hall, Benin
City, Edo State.
He said “The
dearth of nurse politicians has been the bane for nursing development in
Nigeria, which is why other professionals within the health sector are deciding
what nurses should or should not get. So, my dear colleague I will reiterate
that call again-consider running for public office. If the entire Edo state
nurses/midwives are to replicate the love shown here today towards her
campaign, Mrs Enunwaonye would become the beautiful bride of every political
party in Edo state. She can make a better Commissioner of Health for Edo State.”
Omoragbon
stated that Pastor Enunwaonye has made immense contributions to the growth and
development of the Nursing Profession in Nigeria. “Thirty-Five years of
meritorious service to nation-building in complete health is the prayer and
aspiration of any civil servant. As for Pastor Enunwaonye whom we are
celebrating today, she has not only completed her call to duty but also made
immense contributions to the growth and development of the Nursing Profession
in Nigeria.”
While
congratulating her for a no-blemish career, Omoragbon disclosed that Nurses
Across the Borders International has offered her the position of National
Coordinator for South-South and South-East in order to tap from her wealth of
knowledge. “Nurses Across the Borders International is glad to offer Pastor
(Mrs) Enunwaonye Chimdi Hossana the position of the National
Coordinator-South-South & South-East of the Organization. Now that Nurses
Across the Borders International has formally entered a collaboration to
promote climate change and public health by building the capacities of
healthcare professionals as First Responders to the Climate Change crisis in
Nigeria, the organization will benefit from her wealth of experience and
intelligence.”
Going down
memory lane Omoragbon who is the First Designated Contact Person from Nigeria
to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change said “Our contact
with Mrs Enunwaonye was at the Kick-Off Campaign of the Year 2020: The Year of
the Nurse in Abuja, January 2020 led by the Nigerian Nurses Charitable
Association United Kingdom. She was fiery and passionate when making her
interventions at the summit. In-fact, she was urged to run for public office in
the coming political dispensation, because the nursing profession in Nigeria
deserves nothing more than a nurse that would go the legislature and promote
the cause of nursing and be a voice to us.
“Another
occasion of our robust interaction was at the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change-(UNFCCC COP 26), held in Glasgow, last year. Her
intelligence was tested and proven and the compassionate nature of her being
and a nurse was shown to our younger delegates in the team, as she acted like
Mother Theresa to all of us at our hotel. She is very empathetic,” Pastor
Peters Omoragbon disclosed.
In the end on
behalf of he wished her well in her future endeavours.
