The remarkable 60-year celebration at the Rivers State Police Command headquarters in Port Harcourt was one of a kind; which featured a parade by the POWA members dressed in Police uniform, drama, music, presentation of gifts, and lots more and done by the police officers’ wives.
The Chairperson of the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) in Rivers state, Mrs. Olufunmilola Disu, who was the Commissioner of Police of the day, disclosed that it is rewarding to be a Police officer’s wives.
The Rivers POWA Chairperson stated that the respect and regard she gets every day as the Commissioner of Police’s Wife is awesome.
On their roles as Police officers’ wives, she said “We pray for them, take care of our children.
We also empower Police officers widows, through training and programs to make them independent”.
“Today we honor the strength, resilience, and compassion that define the very heart of a Police wife.”
“We know the challenges and sacrifices that come with this noble profession.
The sleepless nights, the constant worries, the fear of the unknown are the burdens we carry day in and day out.”
“We are the rock upon which our husbands can lean, the safe harbor they return to after a long and difficult shift. Throughout the years, the Police Officers’ Wives Association has been a beacon of light, guiding us through the darkest of times, from offering emotional support and counseling services to organizing charitable initiatives and educational programs” she said.
The POWA Chairperson also thanked the wife of Inspector General of Police, Mrs Elizabeth Egbetokun for her support in commemoration of POWA’s 60th anniversary celebration.
In an interview with Journalists, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, CP Olatunji Disu stated that Police Officers’ Wives are special women.
“Our wives give us emotional intelligence, advice, and pray for us.
The perfect parade by them today means they learned a lot from us.
They should make our home conducive.
If after work, your home is not conducive, you will not want to return home.
A Police officer without a conducive home cannot be a good Police officer.
“We are going to keep pictures of our wives in this uniform.
Our wives know everything about us.
They are our prayer warriors.”
“A man that dies quickly is the one without a conducive home. Our work is getting tougher day by day. I want you to look at us and know when we are happy.
Continue to lessen our burden.
I thank the wife of IGP for the wonderful initiative” CP Disu said.
