According to Eteng, the gesture was in the spirit of the Easter celebration, emphasising the importance of celebrating humanity alongside the Lord and Saviour. “This is the Easter season when we celebrate Christ. In celebrating our Lord and Saviour, we have to equally celebrate humanity,” he said.

Eteng explained that the action reflected Christ-like virtues of love, sacrifice, and compassion. “This action is not just a seasonal gesture but a reflection of Christ-like virtues of love, sacrifice, and compassion. This is the spirit of love to one another which Christ preaches,” he added.

The senator’s donation covered patients who had undergone major surgeries, orthopaedic patients, and premature births requiring incubator care. Eteng assured the hospital management that he would intervene to improve the quality of healthcare in the district.

Dr Emmanuel Gilbert, the state visiting consultant to the hospital, commended Eteng for his kindness. “If everybody can once in a while do this, the world will be a better place for all of us.”

A beneficiary, Mrs Joy Bassey, expressed gratitude to Eteng for paying her son’s medical bill. “My son, Joseph Ukobere, 15, had an accident since Feb. 27, and had his knee bone affected. I thank God for bringing Sen. Eteng to the rescue. I have been praying to God for an intervention, and it came today. My joy knows no bounds,” she said
