"We should all thank God for Mo. I have never seen a more 60th birthday celebrant. I think she is celebrating her birthday herself. She is so happy and people are so happy for Mo because everybody here wants to dance with and for Mo."

"I am celebrating her not because she celebrated me when I turned 70 but because Mo and her friends, Ruth Osime, Nkiru and others are amazing and jolly good fellows. I am so proud of her and that is why each time I send messages to her , I always end it with I am always proud of you."

"Most of the women here have always struggled and have consistently made it. Mo is an incredibly, unbelievably strong girl. I wonder how she gets her courage, her resilience and I don’t know where she gets her energy from."

"I am approaching 80 and I understand what battle is all about because I have fought so many as a politician for over 32 years. I’m seeing sincere love for a fellow woman. Women are beginning to love and appreciate each other. Women should continue to be happy for each other. If there is anything like reincarnation, I want to come back as a woman."
